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…
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…
No Matter What — Praise Him Anyway
A.W. Tozer, often called a 20th-century prophet for his calls to a deeper spiritual life, emphasized intimacy with God. He once said, “If God takes away everything I have, I will love Him anyway.” Now that’s a bold kind of faith. But let’s be honest — it’s not always easy. There are days when prayers…
Patriotism at Its Finest
Some people hang a flag. Others — raise a legacy. On Saturday morning, March 21, something truly special unfolded at the home of our dear friend, Lucille Casner. This wasn’t just a flagpole dedication. This was a declaration — of faith, freedom, and deep gratitude. Now entering her 92nd year, Lucille Casner is still full…
Where’s God?
Remember those “Where’s Waldo?” books? I still enjoy looking for Waldo — even now. There he is somewhere in the middle of a crowded page, wearing his red-and-white stripes, quietly hiding in plain sight. We scan, we squint, we lean in just a little closer — and then — aha! We find him! The creator…
Back to Life
Carl came to me holding his iPhone like it had just betrayed him.“It’s frozen,” he said. Well now — if there’s one thing I’m confident in, it’s at least trying to fix things. So I tapped, swiped, pressed, and even gave it that “this should work” look. Nothing. Nada. That phone wasn’t budging. Then I…
The Great Rectifier
I had one of those eye-opening moments that made me stop and ponder the lesson I learned. I realized how easily my emotions can get tangled up. One minute I’m calm and collected, and the next minute my feelings are marching in like they own the place. And if I’m being honest, sometimes I really…
Keep Climbing!
Once upon a time my knees decided they needed a little….. encouragement. So I started wearing knee braces under my slacks. At first they were stiff, then downright uncooperative. But eventually I found a pair that works beautifully when I’m walking, working out, or gliding along on the elliptical. What a relief! Last year Carl…
Shhh! It’s a Secret!
I’ll confess something right up front.I’m not very good at keeping secrets. Oh, I try. But give me a delightful surprise — like a party, a gift, or some exciting news — and it practically bubbles right out of me. I’ve been known to accidentally spill the beans about a surprise party before the candles…
