When it comes to praying, sometimes God says no!This may be hard to accept, but this is God’s way of guiding you to a greater purpose in life.

When We are Weak – He is Strong

This story is from 2018. Yesterday, I visited an old friend of mine from a church I used to pastor. I recently discovered he is battling lung cancer along with many other complications.

Be Kind – Be Gentle

“Abiding in the Vine” Christ being the vine, we are the branches (see John 15). One of the fruit of the Spirit is gentleness. “But the fruit of the Spitit is is love, joy, peace, gentleness…” Gentleness or being gentle has become a lonely word in our current intolerant society. Anger and rudeness have becomeContinue reading “Be Kind – Be Gentle”

Worrying Divides The Mind

An easy way to get distracted is to worry and to allow anxiety to control your thoughts and life. Worrying does not do anything for us, but to make us upset, can cause sickness, can drive a person to drink, make us depressed, and so much more. We can lack faith and subtly lose hope.Continue reading “Worrying Divides The Mind”

Be A Trailblazer in Your Trial

A TRAILBLAZER OVERCOMES OBSTACLES I find it amazing how some of the smooth paved roads in the mountains have made our lives so much easier to travel and see such beautiful scenery.

Be Silent while Waiting

The invention of the drive thru at fast food or Dunkins originally was for convenience. The purpose was to get in and out with a coffee or small order. Now I have to walk in to DD to get my coffee because the drive thru is so long and time consuming. I’m out faster andContinue reading “Be Silent while Waiting”

There is Purpose in the Wilderness

Wandering in the wilderness of life is not always Aimless! Like Israel in the book of Exodus we can wander in the wilderness for 40 years grumbling and complaining about the journey. Moses led Israel to the promised land but did not enter himself only to see it from Mount Nebo, even though he wasContinue reading “There is Purpose in the Wilderness”

A great leader takes people where they don’t necessarily want to go but ought to be.” Rosalyn Carter. A great coach, mentor, orContinue reading “The Next Level”

Love For A Lifetime

Love is a lifetime of give and take, sacrificing to others and self sacrificing not self serving.

Relationships take work and effort, not just words that say “I Love You”.Continue reading “Love For A Lifetime”

Enjoy the Little Things in Life

The year 2020 will remind us of what really matters in this life when we look back in years from now. Some people have been speaking about a reset button, but I would like to think of this year as a pause button.
