The other day I asked the Dental Assistant who was cleaning my teeth how her “spiritual life” was going. She paused and said, “Well, if you mean going to church, I haven’t been for a while, but my husband and I are trying something new this year. At the beginning of November, we started giving […]

God as my Co-Pilot
Tired of the cold weather, so am I. But, what can you do, you can’t escape the weather, and if you do (for a little while), you’ve got to come back and deal with it whether you like it or not. And so it is with life, you can’t escape life itself, and if you […]
So Help Me God
Feeling insecure, inadequate, and unqualified…welcome to reality! For most of us, these feelings are a normal part of our lives as we deal with all the situations, problems, and difficulties that confront us on a daily basis. We are in good company though, because many of the Biblical characters we uphold as examples to follow […]
Making Room
It never ceases to amaze me, how we seek to push our own agendas, needs, and accomplishments, as though they are all that matter in this world. It is only when you and I allow ourselves to be captured by a much greater cause (something bigger and greater than we could ever imagine) that we […]
Blessed
When Jesus spoke about being “blessed”, it had nothing to do with fame, fortune, riches, or power; instead it had everything to do with humility, gratitude, love, and forgiveness.

No matter how bleak and overwhelming the circumstances of our lives, we have the assurance that God is there, for He will never […]
Feeding Time
I’ve been told that there is apart of us that seeks to feed on anything this world has to offer. The world is like a “country buffet” with all sorts of tantalizing goodies for us to chew on, but the nutritional value is lacking and the cost overwhelming. Why not feed instead on what God […]
Trust in God
Trust in God means forsaking our natural instincts, no matter how things look, and trusting in God’s plan for our lives. Trust in God means asking God to give us the wisdom and understanding we need for the direction and guidance of our lives. Trust in God means not running away from our difficulties, but […]
Creative Communication
Creative Communication for us who walk by faith begins with giving thanks to God on a daily basis for all graciously given and received. It then prayerfully moves into the inner sanctum of our lives by bridging the gap between our conscious and subconscious awareness of who we are as children of God. It then […]
Let it Flow
Just think of it, God fashioned you and I to be special receptacles for His supernatural power, the Holy Spirit. It is therefore vital that we measure ourselves, our thoughts, actions, and goals by God’s word; that we base our reality on everything (good, bad, and indifferent) that has brought us to where we are […]
