When we are raising our kids, we often hear the phrase ‘pick your battles,’ and I have to admit I’ve said it a lot in the past. Sometimes, though, we cannot pick our battles. Either with kids, our job, our health, and so much more, there comes a time when we have to fight. Thankfully,… Continue reading Battling

Land of the Lost
When I was growing up, we loved Saturday morning cartoons and TV shows. One of the ones I loved to watch was Land of the Lost. Yes, if you look at it now, you’ll see how bad the special effects are and how impossible the story line is, but I have fond memories of Marshall,… Continue reading Land of the Lost
Give It
I have a few things I really treasure…gifts given to me, heirlooms passed down, other things I love. I also have people I treasure…family and friends. In John 12 Mary anoints Jesus’s feet with perfume considered her treasure because it was worth a year’s salary. After she puts it on His feet, she wipes them… Continue reading Give It
Amen
Psalm 148 Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights above. Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly hosts. Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars. Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies. Let them praise the name of the Lord, for at his command they were created, and he established them for ever… Continue reading Amen
As Good As It Gets
So many people have constant hard times. One right after the other. I don’t know why except I’ve heard it said if you’re trying to live like God wants you to, satan attacks harder. There’s a movie I really like called As Good As It Gets. Perhaps you’ve seen it. There are two scenes in… Continue reading As Good As It Gets
Break It
Many of us have experienced broken bones in the past playing sports, falling down, and in other ways. It can be very painful and a long recovery with surgery needed in some cases. Often in preparing our minds for taking communion in worship, Luke 22 is read reminding us Jesus took the bread and cup… Continue reading Break It
Control
Coronavirus…..God is in control. Worship His name! Stock market crash……God is in control. Praise His name! Job loss……God is in control. Exalt Him on high! Illness…….God is in control. Hallelujah! Storms……God is in control. Magnify Him! Then he fell to the ground in worship and said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb,and naked I will… Continue reading Control
Searching
We’ve been privileged to see the group Chicago in concert a couple of times. Their ballads and horn section make them one of the best groups of all time, in my opinion. One song, I’ve Been Searching So Long, came to my mind this morning. Written in 1974, the lyrics hit home with most people.… Continue reading Searching
Psalm 8
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!You have set your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babies and infants,you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger. When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that… Continue reading Psalm 8
Bought and Paid For
So many of us often choose the wrong thing. The wrong thing to do, say, think, or even eat. We did this when we were young. We see our kids doing the same thing. We do it when we’re older. We do it all the time. Instead of treating our bodies like the temple they… Continue reading Bought and Paid For
