There’s one thing for sure that I’ve noticed about our Calvary church family, when there’s someone in need, people pray. The most powerful thing we can do for someone is pray for them. It reminds me of Paul’s prayer to the Colossian church. “For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do...

John D. Rockefeller is known as the richest man in modern history. Rockefeller was the first ever American billionaire in the early 1900’s, which by today’s standards would be about 340 billion dollars. That is more than three times the net worth of Bill Gates! When a reporter asked him, “How much money is enough?”...

Forgive my lack of an “intro”, but I’m just going to dive right into this. We have a habit of hiding our brokenness; covering up the areas we are lacking. I get it, I’ve done it, and honestly, I still do it sometimes. Here’s the thing – not once has it ever benefited me, my...

1 Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” Bitmojis…I’m fairly new to them....

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 I love summer break from school. Not because of the fun things to do and neat places to go, but it’s the most time I get to spend with my children. There...

This may sound strange (okay, it is), but I have a neon-green pin with the single word “whatever” fastened to the top of my Christmas stocking. Don’t ask me how it found its way there. And I can’t even claim it’s in reference to Philippians 4:8, “whatever things are true, noble, just, pure, lovely…meditate on...

Back in the day, my high school’s motto was “Freedom with Responsibility.” As a kid, I interpreted that to mean that freedom was something to be earned. If you were responsible, you had freedom. And conversely, the more irresponsible you were, the less freedoms you were given. Home was just the same way. The more...

Remember a time when you had to drive somewhere during a downpour? You stood by your front door remembering that the umbrella was already in the car. You are hoping the rain would let up just enough so that you could make a dash for the car and not get soaked. Once you got in...

I have to tell you that I am really excited for our summer to start- and it is just about here! The kids’ last day of school is tomorrow. And in a few days, we are off to vacation where we can enjoy some sunshine and togetherness. This vacation is much more than a vacation...
