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…

You may know what the heartache and unbelief feels like when one of your closest friends or family members passed away yesterday.

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?

Thirsty Thursday — Holy Thursday
Thirsty Thursday is what they call our social every Thursday night where I live. We are offered many beverages of choice to quench our thirst along with snacks to satisfy our hunger. Jesus had our thirst and hunger in mind on this Holy Thursday. Once upon a time, on social media, we would classify Thursdays…
Holy Wednesday’s Love Story
In the workplace, we call Wednesdays “Hump Day”. That’s because it’s in the middle of the work week and hallelujah, the weekend is in sight! Just two more days and it’s the weekend! But can we imagine Jesus thoughts on this day…..in the middle? Wednesday meant one day closer to His pain, suffering and crucifixion.…
Temple Tuesday was Just That
Yesterday, on Holy Monday of Holy Week, I blogged about Jesus and His righteous anger when He saw the money changers selling their wares and cheating people at the temple. Cheating is wrong but especially at this holy place set apart for the presence of God. I love that from that scene, Jesus went into…
Rainy Days and Mondays
My blog title is the title of a melancholy hit song by the Carpenters. It goes along with people’s moods that are the lowest on Mondays. They are those who grieve the loss of their weekends and the carefree feelings that accompany those days. Psychologists say that it’s difficult to transition away from leisure and…
It’s Palm Sunday and Here He Comes!

Some will simply acknowledge it, or not, while others make a big deal about it. At some churches, the people meet and process around the outside…
God Brought the House Down
I live in a wonderful community. There are many singles, marrieds, and widows(ers). Many of our new residents’ spouses passed on within the last few weeks or months. That is their main reason to move closer to their children and choosing this community as their new home. Often, when I meet them and inquire, tears…
