What Can We Do?
Our world is in trouble today. As we look around, we see people that are angry, depressed, hurting, and lost. The news is about war, mass shootings, riots, coronavirus, and so much more sadness. My question to all of us is: "What can we do?" We can and must work...
Child-like Faith
What is Childlike Faith? This is one of my favorite pictures of Brayden Agogo. He was born in Africa and lived in an orphanage until he was adopted by wonderful people here in Alabama. He is always smiling and has the best attitude toward life. He is simply happy to...

He is Risen

What do you want for the children in your life?
That was the question I posed this week to a room full of courageous ladies in drug rehab. Answers flew back: “Happiness”, “Peace”, “Strength”, “A relationship with God”. In a previous Bible study, they had asked for a message on parenting. My wheels immediately began...
