Let’s say, for example, you’re in the dressing room at the gym when, suddenly, someoneContinue reading “You Can’t Unsee That!”

For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong in behalf of those whose hearts are blameless toward Him… – 2 Chronicles 16:9 (AMP) Upon reading the first part of this sentence, I feel comforted. Knowing God’s eyes are roaming the Earth, I long to beContinue reading “Blameless and Righteous?”

The winds picked-up, the pressure dropped, and the wall-shaking thunder rolled across the sky. The sirens screamed and our cell phones began ringing with warnings from family and friends to take shelter; there was a storm headed our way. We pulled up the radar map from our local news station’s app and the entire areaContinue reading “Storms”

I had a deadline to meet. So I sat there for hours, straining my brain, staring at my computer screen, trying to come up with my next blog entry. As hard as I tried to even come up with a topic, everything in my head remained blank. So, finally, I gave up and went outsideContinue reading “Get Moving!”
