I’ve heard people say that Jesus was just a good man, a good teacher, but they deny that he is God. This is a travesty because the importance of Jesus’ death on the cross is rooted in the fact that he is fully God, and was also fully human. As C.S. Lewis said, “Jesus is …

Have you talked to God today?
This morning, Facebook, Instagram and Messenger were all down for a couple hours or so. As I was having my quiet time with the Lord, I pondered something. I imagine a lot of people were uncomfortably shaken by the lack of contact with their friends, family, or even strangers that they follow online. But I …
Waiting on the Army, While Trusting in God
One year ago today, Rob submitted his retirement packet to the Army. 365 days later, we are still waiting to find out if it will be approved or not. He has served 22 years, but the reality is the Army can deny a retirement request anytime before the person has served 30 years based on …

A conversation I had recently got me thinking about JOY. Where do we find our joy? What makes us feel joyful? If we seek joy in the things that we accomplish or achieve, or in how well the day goes according to plan – we will always fall short. Plans will change and projects will …
Happy New Year 2024
Happy New Year! God’s mercies are new this morning, like each morning, as we start this new year. He is doing a new thing in each of our lives. I know our family has a lot of changes coming up this year – Rob is retiring from the Army this year, going back into the …
Social Awkwardness & God’s Grace
This post was written by my 18 year old (in a few days) daughter, Emily. Hopefully, we’ll see more of her writing on here in the future. I hope this blesses you as much as it did me. I just wanted to share something that has been on my heart lately, as far too often, …
