Don’t Click Everything
Carl received a beautiful, online invitation. A gala. He couldn’t wait to see where, what, and how soon this party will be! Now, if you know Carl, you know he loves people, parties, events, and opportunities to mix and mingle. And a good gathering? Even better. So, he clicked. And just like that — the…
Dream a Little — Dream a Lot
Carl sleeps like a champion — eight solid hours, no interruptions, probably dreaming in full color with surround sound. Me? I celebrate if I get six. And yes — I’ve been known to sneak in a little “holy nap” during the day — now and then. And dreaming at night? Rare. If I do dream,…
Snapshots of Love
On Sunday, Carl and I stepped into a busy, active and fun-filled place — High Five — that was filled with laughter, little feet running, bowling balls rolling, and the sweet chaos of a five-year-old’s birthday party. Gifts were opened with delight, hugs were given freely, and joy filled every corner. And there they were…
God’s Not Dead — He’s ALIVE!
The stone is rolled away. The tomb is empty.And heaven is not whispering — it’s shouting! HE’S ALIVE!!! What looked like a grave — was really a doorway.What looked like the end — was heaven shouting — “Watch this!” Peter said it best: “It was not possible for death to hold Him.” (Acts 2:24) Not…
Holy Saturday: The Day In Between
It’s the day after.You know that feeling.The phone calls have been made.The tears have been cried — at least the first wave.And now — there’s silence.A quiet so heavy it almost echoes. Yesterday, everything changed.Jesus — Teacher, Healer, Friend — was gone.Laid in a borrowed tomb.Stone rolled shut.Hope — sealed behind it. Can you imagine…
Holy Wednesday — Halfway There
We call Wednesday “Hump Day.Weekend in sight. Hang on just a little longer. But this Wednesday?This one wasn’t about pushing through to something easy.For Jesus, it meant one day closer to the cross. Scripture tells us this day is often called “Spy Wednesday.” Judas –one of His own — went to the chief priests and…
Temple Tuesday — Truth that Stands
I feel a quiet stirring in my heart. I don’t want to move through this week distracted or unaware. This is the week Jesus walked steadily toward the cross — for me, for you. And I find myself wanting to slow my pace, soften my heart, and walk with Him — all the way to…
Palm Sunday — Our King has Come!
Oh, what a Savior. Oh, hallelujah! Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week — the grandest story ever told — that started with a baby coming quietly into our world. No spotlight. No royal announcement — just a humble stable, a young mother, and a promise wrapped in swaddling clothes. That baby grew into…
Keep Your Eyes on the Ball
I heard the cutest dad story.A father wanted to help his 7-year-old son with baseball. He’d taken him to practice, thrown pitches, done all the right things –but he admitted, “I don’t really know what to tell him!” So he asked a friend. The answer?“He’s seven. Just tell him one thing — WATCH THE BALL!”…
Words That Matter Most
Good gracious — I can’t stay quiet about this. Our words were never meant to wound, divide, or tear down. Yet that’s exactly what we’re surrounded by. Everywhere we turn, there’s a barrage of harsh, careless, even cruel words — words that stir fear, fuel division, and drain life right out of us. While I…
