December 2025 At the end of the year, we often take time to reflect on our lives—how things are going, the struggles we face, and the changes we feel are needed.

Unfortunately, many of these resolutions are unrealistic, not … Continue reading NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION
GIVING CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE
December 2025 It seems almost universal among Christians that when someone mentions a person who did something good for others without receiving the credit they deserved, the immediate reaction is, “We’re not supposed to want recognition or praise for doing good.” I struggle to understand why so many jump to that conclusion. According to Scripture, … Continue reading GIVING CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE
Discovering The Truth Part 2
Not Everything is as it Seems It’s bad enough that we can’t trust the news, news headlines, and many publications that share information with us.

“Turn it Over”
Turn what over and to whom? Trials, struggles, frustrations, all our concerns, everything, turn them all over to God. It may sound easy but it is far from it.

A CRY FOR HELP
I was sitting on the porch of our house in the mountains enjoying the cool breeze when a neighbor’s little dog was standing in his yard all alone. Why was he standing there in the same spot and only bark once every five minutes? Did he need help or was he just a spoiled dog … Continue reading A CRY FOR HELP
