Practice Makes…
Practice makes perfect. That’s a lie. Nothing could be further from the truth. Have you seen me swing a golf club?
Helicopter Parenting
“Helicopter parenting” is a term used to describe parents who are overly focused on their kids. Let’s be
honest: it is not a flattering term.
Home Interprets Heaven
I think that right now, more than ever before, we are reminded that this
world is not our home. Life is hard and full of uncertainties, and the world can sometimes be a hurtful place.
Who Does He Act Like?
The first question my mother asks when a child is born is, “Who does he look like?” This always confuses me. Babies have a unique look. They’re squishy, cuddly and have a unique baby smell.
Love One Another
If ever there was a time when the world needed love, sweet love it’s now! This call to love one another is not unique to 1960’s songs.

I am a planner. I have a color-coded calendar on my phone that syncs to my husband’s phone. Ditto to the online shopping list.

Strength is for Service, Not Status
When compared to other things I had heard in the past several weeks, that

Follow Jesus:
Humble Servant Exalted King
Do you wish you experienced more joy during challenging times? Have you ever struggled with your own spiritual growth? Do you ever wrestle with anxiousness and contentment? Did you know the New Testament book of Philippians addresses each of these questions?

Vast: Experiencing the Inexhaustible Love of God
God changes people. He does it all the time. Even now He is changing you and me. One of the primary means that God uses to change us is His Word. I invite you to journey with me for 31 days through the book of 1 John. Read, reflect, and respond to the vastness of God’s inexhaustible love. “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!”
