Last week we kicked off this series titled Overtime. We have to acknowledge that time is fleeting. Just look at pictures of your children from last year and you’ll quickly realize that the little buggers don’t stay little! It seems just yesterday my now teenage sons were barely able to crawl across the floor, but…
One of my favorite bible verses comes from one of the most intimidating books of the bible, Revelation. In this book, John writes his view of the end of the world from heaven’s perspective. It’s a wonderful book filled with rich imagery, meaningful promises and some fairly terrifying examples. Nestled in this book are seven…
Ever have one of those throw in the towel kind of days? One of those days when you are just done with it all? Every once in a while the weight of the world seems just a little too heavy and all you want to do is crawl back in bed and just sleep it…

It’s not about music or vocalists trying to make it big by impressing some panel of judges. Nothing wrong with the show necessarily just not the point of this…
There’s something comforting about a familiar voice. You know when you’re having a rough day and you get that call from someone you know cares for you. It’s that voice that makes things just seem a little better. Well, Mary was in a rough way and needed the comfort of a familiar and loving voice….
I’ve been blessed with some pretty good eyesight. As a matter of fact my eye doctor has instructed me that I don’t even need to come every year. But not everyone has the same eye condition. As a matter of fact, I’m the only one in my house that doesn’t need glasses for one reason…
It was about six o’clock and in our house that means it’s just about supper time. The food was ready. The table had been set. Drinks were in cups and the only thing left was to call the children to come and get it. But not so fast! Have you ever had one of those moments…
