Are you making time for rejoicing? Have you noticed a great distress all over the world? You’re not alone. Lots of people are talking about it. Many Christians are focused on topics like “the end days” or “the last days” or “the end of this age”. I get it.

Do you believe God hears you when you pray? If you’d like to be sure He does, I have some good news for you. You CAN know. For example, there was a guy named John, who wrote this in the Bible: “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.” That seems … The rest of the story…
It’s important to remember how to trust God when life is awesome. That might sound a little odd at first. But trusting God oftentimes becomes blurry for the man or woman whose life is full and rich.

Christmas stress is a matter of focus and trust. As I write this Christmas 2015 is 2 weeks from tomorrow. I’ve already been asked that question I’ve heard every year since I became an adult: “Are you ready for Christmas?” My pat answer is: “I’m always ready for Christmas.” And it’s true. That’s because every single day is like Christmas to me. Every single … The rest of the story…
Do bumps, scratches, and glitches ruin your day? Did you know it’s up to you what can ruin your day? I know that sounds a little weird when you first read it, but let me explain a little with a description of my day. It started off very early and actually very well. No problems getting up on time. Breakfast was nutritious and delicious. … The rest of the story…
Indecision: When not deciding IS deciding – There have been many times in my life when indecision caused me to miss out on opportunities. The good news is…those were situations that only had temporary consequences. I was able to recover and move on. If you’ve lived more than a couple of decades, I’m sure you can relate.
