Finding Him in the Ordinary
As I sat down to write today’s post, I had no idea what I would say. I always attempt to see God in my daily life and share it here in this space, in ways to hopefully, inspire others to do the same. The only problem is that I always require some downtime to sit … Continue reading
Spreading Positive Tidings
On Saturday night, the Georgia Bulldogs played the Auburn Tigers, for the SEC Championship. The stakes and the tensions were high because so much was riding on the game, not to mention that Georgia had lost to Auburn just a few weeks earlier. After that loss, I ran into a friend of mine from work, … Continue reading
Christmas Preparation
Earlier this week, the faculty and staff at the school where I work, joined together to have a baby shower for one of our own. Now, it’s been a long time since I have spent much time with a pregnant lady, so spending the last few months watching a young, excited, happily married, mother-to-be, grow … Continue reading
Wilderness Peparation
If I were to ask you to picture wilderness, what would come to mind? Would it be desert? Would it be a forest? Would it be an island in the middle of nowhere? Whatever you picture, I’m sure it’s not a place where you would ask your travel agent to book your next vacation. When … Continue reading
Thankful Hearts
As I was driving down the road yesterday, I passed by a sign out in front of a church that read, “Are you thankful or just full?” It was a simple play on words, but they stayed on my mind for the rest of the day. Last Thursday we celebrated Thanksgiving; where we were supposed … Continue reading

My mama’s and my daddy’s hearts have taught me a lot about faith. They have taught me not to panic. Interestingly … Continue reading
Hope Wins
Last week, I got to watch the annual country music awards. Being a country music fan, I usually watch at least some of the show. This year I was very interested to see how they the stars of country music would deal with the tragedy in Las Vegas. As a rule, country music artists tend … Continue reading
Watching for Divine Intervention
I just finished doing a Bible study on the Book of Esther. It’s a short book packed with intrigue and action. It’s the kind of story Hollywood would love to tell. Although I never noticed it before, God is not mentioned in the entire story, yet Jewish historians made sure it made the Hebrew Bible. … Continue reading
Honoring Veteran’s Day
This post first appeared here several years ago, but I found the words still pertinent today and I thought I would repost. Tomorrow we celebrate Veteran’s Day in the United States. It was first commemorated on November 11, 1919 because an armistice or a cease-fire in World War I occurred in the eleventh hour, on … Continue reading
Leaf Lessons
As I was traveling down the road yesterday, a little grumpy, because I had to drive all the way to another county to pick up some medication for my dog at the vet, I was delighted to see the leaves changing color. I remember wondering just recently, if we would get any bright fall leaves … Continue reading
