Everybody has a Story to Tell
A few years ago, an associate pastor asked me to speak to a small Wednesday night gathering. As we sat on the front row waiting to get started, he leaned over and asked, “What’s your favorite hymn?” I smiled and answered him without hesitation. He immediately sprung...
What are you doing here?
Devotional reading: 1 Kings chapter 17-19 And the angel of the Lord came back the second time and touched him and said, "arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you." 1 Kings 19:7 This thing called life requires us to prepare for the journey ahead, doesn't...
Always on Time!
Each month I serve Jesus by serving at a food drive at my church. I see a lot of the same people, mainly the elderly. These are people who worked hard all of their lives. They sacrificed so much for their families for many years. Every morning, before we serve...
Chasing Jesus
I loved chasing fireflies when I was a child. I loved chasing my cousins in a good game of Hide&Seek. I loved chasing the chickens around the yard – until the Mother hen would turn on me. I just loved a good chase! Now that I am not able to chase much of anything,...
