As I prepare for another year, I reflect on the many different events and emotions that I’ve experienced this past year. I recently purchased a t-shirt that displays the different emotions of a character in a movie that I know many of us have experienced. The t-shirt includes Will Ferrell as Buddy the Elf and...

Reckless Love
Reckless Love was the worship song of the year and my personal favorite worship song this year, as well. It’s probably a lot of other people’s favorite too, but maybe for different reasons. I know I have been blessed by this song and many others have as well. It has ministered to my spirit many...
Called to Worship
I have been doing a study on worship for past couple of weeks, and I am just about to the end of it. Through the study, I’ve looked at eight verses that use the word “worship” itself, and studied the context of each one. It’s been an eye-opening study to say the least. The first...

Down the Lane
Don’t you just love a good whisper? We bond with best friends, family members and soulmates sharing inside jokes, reliving fond memories, or plotting new adventures. Yes, whispers are fun! …unless your ear is clogged. That ruins everything. Then you can’t hear what’s being said, the other person gets annoyed at having to repeat themselves...

Shelter in Place
A few weeks ago, there was a precautionary “Shelter in Place” order at my daughters’ school because of some suspicious activity at a neighboring school district. All we were told was that there was no immediate danger. When I received the text, of course, fear set in as I quickly realized I was powerless to...
Living Up to Your Privilege
What is our privilege as believers? The world defines ‘privilege’ as a special right, an advantage over others. It says that a person has the right to express themselves in the way they choose, but does that expression give a person an advantage over another? It seems that way in today’s culture. The Bible describes...
