Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
In the Bible, the story of the woman caught in adultery and threatened to be stoned to death is a beautiful illustration of Jesus’ grace and love for each of us. Not only does He forgive her of her sin, He also teaches each of her accusers how to respond to her; He challenges them... Continue Reading →
A woman was telling me recently how much she wished her husband would lead their family; she was so tired of being the ‘spiritual leader’ of their home but he was resistant, so she often took the reins. We talked about ways to give up the need to lead and give him time to take... Continue Reading →
Several years ago our oldest daughter went away to a Christian summer camp and came home on fire for Jesus. It was so exciting to see her bloom and grow right in front of us, to hear her talk about her relationship with Christ, and dream about what God had in store for her future.... Continue Reading →
I have a friend named Sean who knows Billy Graham. For years my friend was a manager at a hotel that connected to a hospital, the same hospital that Mr. Graham visited regularly to have tests run. At some point during his stay each time, the evangelist would come into Sean’s office, take a seat... Continue Reading →

For some reason, it is the time of day when the kids are at their absolute worst, more tantrums are thrown and messes made in this short span of time than the... Continue Reading →
John 13:34 A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. Jesus doesn’t mince words with this one, he wants us to radically, non-traditionally love others. He did this while on earth by spending time, serving and healing others. How do we do this...

Our son was in the hospital for the last couple of days, getting tested for seizure-like episodes he has been experiencing after some concussions last year. He was hooked up to an EEG with the nodes glued to his scalp for more than 48 hours, in hopes of capturing an episode. We don’t have any... Continue Reading →
