WHY?
That requires so much work, so much energy, and so much time… why don’t you just stop? Quotes about difficult things being worthwhile often highlight effort, perseverance, and the value found in overcoming challenges. Theodore Roosevelt’s classic quote, “Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty,” is…

Erika Kirk
The Morning After All of America has an opinion, an emotional reaction, a deep response to what we witnessed yesterday with the assassination of Charlie Kirk: known for his faith, his political stance, his ability to reason and debate – the incredible influence he had across several generations of Americans. We are deeply moved in…

Ministry Update

I’m constantly working to improve the format and site, and writing as much as I can. You know my goal is to encourage others while…

In The Midst
In My Head To be honest; I’m not sure if I’ll ever publish this article and I’ll warn you now that it will be random, raw, and maybe even contain some things that readers don’t understand. If I do publish it; it will be for the sole purpose of authentically exploring and sharing. Who we…

You’ve Been Sued
When God is The Judge and Goes Before You I’m not even sure where to begin with today’s article but I’m going to attempt to share a very personal part of my life over the past year and a half without exposing anyone and their part in this experience. Challenging, yes; but hopefully not impossible!…

Helene / California Fires
Such Heartbreak! Quiet time at home allows for more than usual video watching – and it is truly heartbreaking to see the devestation from the fires in California. Besides heartbreaking, it’s frustrating to feel helpless – and that’s what I feel. It’s the same feeling I had when here in WNC we experienced Helene. Gratitude…

I Just Don’t Have Time
Another Personal Story I’m guessing that most of us would consider ourselves “busy” by anyone’s measurement. Our busy seems to change from season to season but let’s face it: we live in a world that is pushing and pulling from all directions and well; we often get stuck in the whirlwind of ‘doing’. Of course,…

Ignored Love Letters
What a Loss When was the last time you received a genuine love letter? Think about it. Some of us have treasured letters from the past stored away in trunks or boxes. Maybe we’ve saved expressions of love from those early dating years, many of us save cards and letters made by the hands of…

That Unknown Work
We’ve Underestimated the Value! Oh, friends; we know the Scripture verses – “Pray without ceasing,” “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” “If ye have faith and doubt not, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer believing, ye shall receive.” “And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him.” There are so many more…

Personal Failure
Again? Really? On this third week of July 2024, I find that I am battling my “self” again! I can’t compare myself to the Apostle Paul in many ways but when he said, “The things I want to do, I don’t do and the things I don’t want to do, I do…” I can completely…

Well, That’s Gross!
Yes, but think about this… Have you seen anything more disgusting? Yes – this is from my Rainbow vacuum after the first sweep across my den floor. Before I go any further, let me assure you that I’m not looking for cleaning advice, or for all of the reasons I should not have carpet. I…

Moms (and Dads) at Prayer
When we are Weary “I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God: which is your reasonable service.” How is your heart today? Have you ever noticed like me that there are times in our Christian lives that we feel like…

Pray about THAT?
*I don’t think God really cares about things like that! Do you pray about the daily things? The schedule, the plan. How about the necessary funds for simple things like meals or gasoline? Do you pray for wisdom before meeting with a friend, or for the Lord to help you guard your expressions when your…

Perspective:
Defining Moments #16 Join me on my porch in Virginia a few weeks after Jonnie’s death. (Yes, I am taking you back a few months and we are on the camp property trying to absorb reality) I have put the babies to bed and I’m gazing at the stars trying to figure out exactly where…

A Restart of 2024
The Most Important Thing – Life’s been busy. My list of projects to support and work on is long. I’ve been “doing” nonstop since the new year began and basically skipped my normal setting of goals and focusing. When I awoke this morning, I realized how down and out of sorts I felt. Checking my…
