The Open Bible
I sat at my kitchen table and opened my Bible to search for a specific passage. That was months ago. That same Bible has remained open on the kitchen table ever since. I remember hearing about families from decades ago who would have a Bible sitting on their coffee table, in full sight (in fact,… Continue reading The Open Bible
Singles: Thrive in 2022!

The Perfect Timing.
"Why is everything happening all at once?" I wondered. My level of stress was high. I had strict work deadlines to meet, and then a trip for a work training out of town during the exact same time period. In the midst of all the things needing to be done, I neglected my own care… Continue reading The Perfect Timing.
On Home and HOME.
I placed the key in the lock and walked in, not knowing what to expect. The outside had looked nice, but how would the inside be? As I took in the room before me, I gasped.

Then, the really strange thing is that I heard this song on the radio twice… Continue reading Do You Give Love a Bad Name?

There’s No Time for That.
"We must live together as brothers, or perish together as fools." I spotted the above quote on a church billboard the same day I determined to make this post. The quote sums up perfectly what will be discussed in this blog post, and what has been on my mind. The year 2020 has made many… Continue reading There’s No Time for That.
This is an Opportunity.
The world is collectively suffering right now. Some areas more than others, or in different ways than others. There is panic. I don't think I need to mention why, because we probably hear the word 100 hundred times a day already. It incites anxiety, fear, and maybe depression. It leads many to look out for… Continue reading This is an Opportunity.
