Fear and Locked Doors
Here we are today, one week after Resurrection Sunday. I’m thankful the Easter Story provides us with even more chilling and awe-inspiring true stories beyond the resurrection. John the Apostle wrote this in John 20:19 — “That evening of the first day of the week, WHEN THE DOORS WERE LOCKED, where the disciples were, for…
Loving from the Inside Out
I’m a morning person by choice. I’m up and at ‘em at 4am or 5am and posting my blog. I know that I am an anomaly to those who have late-sleeping patterns. I’ve been up for a while when our continental breakfast bar is open at 8 am. Yesterday, I went over to grab something…
It Takes Two
My daily work-out routine has included 20 minutes on the stationary, moving-arms bicycle then 40 minutes on the elliptical equipment.

Who likes to admit having to adjust our life-routines because of body…
Easter and our Hopes For Tomorrow
I don’t know what tomorrow holds, but I do know WHO knows and as long as I maintain my “God perspective” on everything this life doles out, I know I will make it through what may look like a tragedy or triumph. How do I know that? It was because of what happened on Sunday!…

We should NEVER stop talking about Easter and all it represents as believers in the abundant life Christ gave us and that’s every day…
Don’t Give Up Too Soon
“Don’t give up, on the brink of a miracle!Don’t give in, God is still on the throne!Don’t give up, on the brink of a miracle!Don’t give in, remember you’re not alone!” That was a song we sang as a confession of believing “NOTHING – no-thing – is impossible with God!” On a personal note…..I can’t…
God’s Not Dead — He’s Fully ALIVE!
And, He’s living on the inside; roaring like a lion. Praise God! The tomb is empty! The tomb wasn’t for the dead after all. It was a Delivery Room for our LIVING Savior! SURPRISE, Satan! God’s NOT dead – He’s fully ALIVE! Miracle of all miracles. The Apostle Peter said in Acts 2:24 “God raised…

This day AFTER — it’s up to you to handle the responsibilities of planning the funeral, the burial, notifying relatives, and many other details of handling life without them.You are expected to hold…
Bad Friday or Good Friday?
You know how it feels. You, or someone you love is hurting so much. No one else could possibly understand this pain. You think “Can this be real? Am I dreaming?” Maybe your closest friend or family member just passed away, and everywhere you look, people are just fine. They’re laughing. They’re carefree. They’re going…
