Distracted?
“Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:2 I have a new friend, and I am absolutely thrilled! We became...
Don’t Believe the Lies
"The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I (Jesus) came that they may have life and have it abundantly." John 10:10 One of my favorite songs on the radio right now is “Fear is a Liar” by Zach Williams. If you have not heard it, I encourage you to listen to it. In...
FOR HIS NAME’S SAKE
Psalms 106:8 “Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake that He might make His mighty power to be known.” I love to read the Old Testament; it is fascinating to me. Story after story of the hand of God bringing deliverance to His chosen people, the Israelites, by...

It’s a Marathon!
“Therefore, since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily ensnares us. Let us run with endurance the race that lies before us, keeping our eyes on Jesus, the source and perfecter of our...
Transitions
I have to admit I have had a really hard time writing this blog this week. If I am totally honest, I am really struggling on many levels right now. In times of struggle, we can look and move toward our Savior or we can look to ourselves and be overwhelmed by feelings...
