Have you ever experienced walking into a room that is pitch black dark?  I mean so dark you can’t see your hand in front of your face?  You can see nothing.   Even if it’s a room you’ve been in before, the total darkness can cause you to be disoriented - your understanding of the … Continue reading Out of the Darkness →

How wonderful it would be to always be calm, no matter the circumstances around us.  It’s something that we really should strive for, because remaining calm is so much healthier for us than getting disturbed and frustrated. A couple of stories that caught my attention when I was reading in Acts 9 are really good … Continue reading Calm in the Midst of the Storm →

I recently saw this on a sign...."Never say everything you're thinking about, but always think about everything you're saying." Words are so very powerful.  They are the primary way that we, as humans, communicate with others.  Once spoken they cannot be taken back, so that saying I quoted above speaks so much wisdom.  If we … Continue reading Open Mouth – Insert Foot →

I think we can all agree that a day doesn’t go by without us having to make decisions - it’s just a part of life.  They aren’t always big monumental decisions, but sometimes even what appears to be a small decision can have a big impact - or not. Everyday things like what to eat … Continue reading Making Decisions →

Once again I ask that you indulge me by enduring a repeat of a previous article - this was my Christmas article for the year 2020.  Because of what I’ve written the previous 5 years, I’m having a hard time coming up with anything original - thus a repeat.  Every year on December 25 we … Continue reading Who Is This Jesus? →

For most people, this time of the year is a special time.  A time when you hopefully can join those you love most, with an expectancy in the air for love, peace, joy and thankfulness.  But for others it can be a difficult and stressful time.  Maybe they have lost a loved one and suffer … Continue reading Perfect Harmony →

(Recommended reading:  Romans 12) A few days ago while running errands, listening to Christmas music on my radio, Rudolph the Red- Nosed Reindeer came on.  I’ve heard this song probably thousands of times during my lifetime.  As a whimsical child-pleasing song I normally don’t pay much attention to it.  However, for some reason some of … Continue reading Reindeer Games →

We live in such a busy, busy world these days.  We are mentally pulled one way, then another.  We tend to multitask and sometimes find ourselves moving from one thing to another without completing anything - sometimes leaving important things unfinished.  We get easily distracted.  I believe we’d all be better off if we could … Continue reading What Distracts You? →
