What is God Like?
This blog comes from reading this sweet story:“A six-year-old girl was busy drawing a picture one day. Her teacher asked, “What are you drawing?” The little girl replied confidently, “I’m drawing a picture of God.” The teacher, a bit taken aback, said, “But nobody knows what God looks like!” The little girl kept drawing and…
A Soldier for the King
Being a soldier of Christ is not for the faint of heart. My camouflage uniform and combat boots (figuratively speaking) are worn out. Lord, can I please be a soldier of chocolate or sleep today? I am at my desk while trying to fight off all the useless questions we like to ask God in…
Christmas Turned Darkness to Light

Worry Less; Smile More Often
Worry Less; Smile More Often I’ve posted this photo before, but it is such a powerful reminder of the childlike faith and trust that we all need so much. I just had to share it again for you AND me. Don’t you just love watching a baby sleeping? His/Her adorable little smiles that just indicate…
Partner, Do You Believe We Can Do This? Yes, Partner, I Believe We Can Do This.
Day 137 of Photo Inspirations — Partner, Do You Believe We Can Do This? Yes, Partner, I Believe We Can Do This! Those are words the dad and son exchanged in the movie, “Little Boy” that our Life Group attended last night. That little boy’s daddy was teaching him, early on, that if you…
