Saying No to Fear
Over the Memorial Day weekend, my family was blessed to spend the weekend with my parents. More specifically, we spent the weekend at their pool and with a record breaking heat wave, we were especially thankful. My first day in the pool, I checked the skimmer carefully, like I always do.

Squeaky Hinge Reminders
Yesterday, I had a day off, the first in a much needed extra long weekend. I was exhausted from work life and personal life. My youngest just graduated from high school and while it was a wonderful celebration, it was emotionally draining as well. We did pictures with grandparents and attended the ceremony.

He was pondering what to do next and was considering Jeremiah when I suggested that maybe he should switch gears and do Acts next. It’s in the New Testament … Continue reading
Wherever You Are
Last Sunday, our sermon was about seeing Jesus in the world around us, which is one of my favorite topics. Part of the sermon was about the travelers on the road to Emmaus found in Luke 24. Most people who are familiar with the Gospels know the story. Two men are walking along and talking … Continue reading
Remembering to Pray
Earlier this week, I had to get my son registered for freshman housing college. He’s going to be attending a really big school and the housing registration process was in three parts. We got started the very first day available and he was really not very interested. But, he was much more enthusiastic a few … Continue reading
