Who else has held the oceans in His hand? Who has measured off the heavens with His fingers?Who else knows the weight of the earth or has weighed the mountains and hills on a scale? (Isaiah 40:12 NLT) Praise the Lord!

The Gummies
One of the things I really love is gummy bears, soft and fresh that almost melt in your mouth. Ahh! But…I don’t eat them very often. They aren’t good for me because they have too much sugar. Often sin is like that. Something that feels good, looks good, comforts us but is clearly wrong for… Continue reading The Gummies

Technology these days is amazing in some ways. Take for instance eye glasses. Have you ever seen someone wearing glasses who goes outside and their glasses become darker like sunglasses? Amazing!

When you become an adult and especially a parent, you understand that your parents are / were not… Continue reading Perfection

What’s On the Toilet Seat?
When I was a kid, there weren’t many things of which I was afraid. Fear is a learned behavior and wow, do we learn it! A lot of fears we learn from life experiences, but some we learn from the grownups in our life. Regardless, those fears can leave us scared and / or scarred.… Continue reading What’s On the Toilet Seat?
How Much
I have a friend at the breaking point. Ever been there? When no matter which way you turn, there is trouble? At home, at work, everywhere! What do you do? What do you say to someone who is in the ashes of this life? Ever heard someone say, “God won’t give you more than you… Continue reading How Much
