My absolute favorite season is here; Fall! I love all things Fall…the changing of leaves, pumpkin spiced lattes, the cool, crisp air and the excuse to wear boots and scarves. Along with this year’s fall came our first fairly substantial rain for the season. Although rain is not my favorite (yes, I know how desperatelyContinue reading “The Power Behind The Thunderstorm”

God Loves You
God loves you. How much of an impact do those three words have on you personally? You’ve no doubt heard that statement numerous times in your life but do the words, God loves you, reach deep into your soul or do they merely pass by barely grazing your heart?

Trust The Lord, No Matter The Outcome
For my mom This past week has been a roller coaster of emotions for me.

Do you ever find yourself putting God into two different categories? For instance, “Bible Times” God and “Modern Times” God? I think sometimes I unwittingly do. I read God’s Word, both Old and New Testaments, and the numerous accounts of miracles, deliverances, provisions, and so forth and I think, “Wow, that’s so cool how GodContinue reading “The Same God”
Help!
We live right off of one of the main streets in our town. In fact, our backyard is only about 50 yards away from it. That being said, because our house is so close to the main road, we hear every ambulance, fire truck, and police car that whizzes by. And let me tell you,Continue reading “Help!”
Dad
I consider myself to be one of the fortunate ones to have a kind and loving father. Growing up, I had a dad who was there. He worked hard to provide for us and when he wasn’t working he took the time to be with us. My dad has never been the overly affectionate type,Continue reading “Dad”
