Ever notice that this world is pretty divided? I know that’s not news to anyone. Just turn on the television or your social media feed and you’ll be inundated with all of the _____lives matter campaigns running round. We divide on just about everything! We disagree about matters of gender, church affiliation, sports teams, politics…
I hate being a failure. I hate it when things don’t go the way I have planned in my head. I’m one of those type-A kind of people. We look ahead so far and see things coming often before they actually occur. I’m not psychic by any means. Just part of how God built me….
I know that sometimes life feels like we’re swimming against the current, running out of energy and all alone. But what if I told you that you were never alone? What if we really believed that God was always with us everywhere we went?

Well this week is that whole love week. It’s the week of Valentine’s Day. It’s a day filled with flowers and candy. It’s a day when we talk love and acceptance. Unfortunately that love and acceptance stuff we show on Valentine’s Day is very conditional. It’s a love that seems more transactional – I’ll love…
Now before we get too far into this I have to admit something. I suck at showing affection! I’m not one of those lovey, gushy kinds of people. I don’t do flowers or chocolates. I rarely even remember to buy cards. Compliments flow from my mouth like water from a dried up well. I pretty much fail at…
Since there are only so many weeks to celebrate Christmas and there are some pretty great Christmas songs, I thought it’d be good to take a few weeks of our #musicmonday this year and celebrate Christmas.
