Living like we don’t need Jesus. It’s not the best way to live. Yet, there were many years as a young adult where I did exactly that. I loved Jesus, but I didn’t need Him all that much. Or so I thought. And most days, that’s how I chose to live. Except on Sundays.... Continue Reading →
I love you more than biscuits and gravy. That’s what the sign hanging above my kitchen sink reads. I didn’t buy the sign because I love biscuits and gravy – though I do. I bought it because it reminded me of a little thing we used to do with our youngest son. As we put... Continue Reading →
I awakened to a hint of light outside my bedroom window. Had I really slept all night? I reached for my cell phone to check the time - 6:18 a.m. Stretching my arms toward the ceiling, I soaked in the goodness of a full night’s slumber and whispered a prayer of thanks.

He was preparing a visual for his youth group- something he has done often the past several years. My cabinets were full of mason jars; a bag of white rice lay buried... Continue Reading →

We're on a journey. A passage from one corner of life to another. Leaving behind the mindset of defeat in search of something better. For me, this journey points to better health.
