A Place for Me
Christmas is finally here. It's a busy time for most folks, but what joy! I love all things Christmas. It brings me immense joy to consider which gift a loved one might fancy, decorate my home in festive colors, string beautiful lights, and bake those special cookies...
Mission Field
Where is your mission field? I once had a dream in my heart to go to Africa; I was set on it. I believed it was where God was sending me. Just when the plan started coming together, life happened, and things changed. Now, I say life happened, but what really happened...
Bridge Building
Be a Bridge-Builder As the end of another year rapidly approaches, I see it as a good time to reflect on the days that have passed and as a time to look forward to what may come in the year ahead. Previously, as I have in the years gone by, I think about the...

Super Strength
The JOY of the Lord is My Strength I recently completed an online quiz that gave insight into the type of "devotional formula" that is best for me. As it turns out, I was classified as a Word Nerd. This means that I delight in taking a word from Scripture and...
Ripples
In 1960, I was born into a Christian family. My Dad answered the call to preach when I was one year old. A few years later, he answered the call to pastor. He had surrendered his life to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He loved the Lord his God with all his heart. In...
