I got a new pair of glasses not that long ago. At the optometrist I was sitting in the chair and I hear the same familiar question, “Read the smallest line you can read”. I always answer with the same joke…E. (He’s never amused) Sure, I’ve had glasses since I was 12 but as I...
… “Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.” (Acts 5:4) Have you ever played Mad Gab? It’s a game where a seemingly random group of words turns into a phrase that makes sense when pronounced correctly. For example, the words “Ace Lip Puff That...
Hallmark’s favorite day just passed us by yet another year. Many cards were exchanged, gifts and flowers doled out, and restaurants booked for lovely romantic dinners. It’s a retailer’s dream! Every year, on February 14th, the theme of the day is love. Love. We celebrate it, say it, and even attempt to show it, but...
Recently, I found a random writing in an old notebook. It is not written in my regular journal, nor is it dated. After a little digging, I have narrowed it to a time frame between late 2021 to early 2022. Although I did not write about a specific incident, I have a good idea as...
It seems like the weekends go by in the blink of an eye anymore. The weekdays do not seem to be much better as they are just filled with various events ranging from daily work routines to multiple events the children are involved with. My family was blessed to spend some time with my past...

It may seem odd to say but God is always the same about new things. God never changes. As things change…God doesn’t. That should bring you comfort and security. Ecclesiastes 1:9That which has been is what will be,That which is done is what will be done,And there is nothing new under the sun. So what...
“…He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.” (Eccl. 3:11) Murmuration. Even if you’re not familiar with this word, you’ve most likely seen it in action – a large group of birds traveling together, soaring and swooping, pulsing and pivoting,...
My wife and I were enjoying another one of our post Christmas trips, this time in West Virginia. We had just finished a wonderful hike in the gorgeous Hawks State Park. As we were driving along a narrow winding road on the side of a mountain, marveling at God’s beauty all around us, we received...
One of my favorite Christmas carols has always been The Little Drummer Boy. The author of this hymn talks of a little boy asked by the Magi to go see the newborn Savior. He goes with them, but he believes he has nothing to offer. “I have no gift to bring that’s fit to give...
