Here it is! You’ve heard the phrase people say when you ask “How did you hear this or that?”. They often say with a grin, “A little birdie told me.” Did you know that that saying actually comes from the bible? Believe it! I cracked up when I read Ecclesiastes...

Life is not fair. We’ve heard it time and time again. This weekend I have witnessed this saying in action. Friday afternoon, on my way home from work, I was at a stop sign just one block from my home. There were a couple of cars in front of me and a few behind me. ...

Teaching is a rewarding job. I love seeing those moments of “Ahaness” on the students’ faces when they discover something new. This past week I gave a homework assignment that I knew we hadn’t discussed much in class. We started off the week by learning multiplying...

Today’s scriptures were another set of those verses that I could just camp on all day, reread, and “marinate” in (as my dear friend and associate pastor, Tommy Warnock, often says). I love God’s word! One of the many lessons that God reminded me of today is that...

My mind and body are tired today. Yesterday was just one of those days when I came home mentally exhausted. Last night I had heard some disturbing news about one of my relatives, and was privy to a bad scenario that happened between some teens. Then when I tried to...

While I was sitting in my comfy chair reading God’s word yesterday morning, I looked out the window and could tell that it was an overcast morning. Soon sprinkles from the sky started to patter down on the ground. Then, the patter became a pounding. I checked out...

Honestly, when you read the words in Psalm 106:32-39 you can’t tell me you don’t feel sick or that you don’t get disgusted by the actions of those in Moses’ time. When I read it, my heart sinks and it makes me want to cry out for all those precious innocent children....

These have got to be some of the most read verses from the bible. I remember when they were read at my wedding. Every time I hear them, I reevaluate my attitude towards those I love. God has a way of keeping me fixated on what true love is. Let’s read these...
