But why? But why do I have to go to bed?It’s not that late. But why can’t I eat chocolate chip cookies for breakfast? But why do I have to load the dishwasher?It’s unfair. But why do I have to go to school?I’m tired and I just want to sleep. But why can’t I wearContinue reading “But Why?”

Come Up Higher.

Have you ever watched someone climb a rope? Or a ladder? Or a pegboard. I can’t do it. I can go up a ladder, but only so far because I’m scared of heights… but a rope, not me. I can jump, grab it, hang on for a few seconds and that’s about it. You watchContinue reading “Come Up Higher.”

This Isn’t Naked and Afraid.

TV contestant shows like Naked and Afraid are popular now-a-days. Something like Naked and Afraid is totally not for me. I am not even a big fan of camping. I like having a real potty, a real shower, and a real bed. I also like air-conditioning. I don’t like bugs, snakes, lizards, or other creepyContinue reading “This Isn’t Naked and Afraid.”

I love Jesus. I also love CBD Oil.

When I bought my first bottle of CBD oil, I was afraid to tell anyone. I am part of the ministry team at my church. I used to be the youth pastor. What will they say? What will they think? Will they accuse me of doing drugs? Should Christians even use CBD oil? All theseContinue reading “I love Jesus. I also love CBD Oil.”

Standing Firm.

One time, when I was younger, I was part of a teen board at my local mall. We got to participate in public relations, advertising, and local events for the mall and some of it’s stores. One year, for a back to school promotion, we held a fashion show followed by mannequin modeling. Mannequin modeling,Continue reading “Standing Firm.”

God Walks in the Midst of the Pieces.

“I count on one thing, the same God that never fails…Will not fail me now, You won’t fail me now…” And, when you understand why your God never fails you… it pushes you into a deeper place of longing for Him, and worshiping Him more intimately, and appreciating the sacrifice made for you. Understanding pushesContinue reading “God Walks in the Midst of the Pieces.”

You Can’t See the Whole Picture… But God Can!

You can’t take a picture of the outside of the building from the inside. You can’t see the broad expanse of the forest when you’re right in the middle of it. When you’re in a boat in the middle of the ocean… all you can see is water on all sides, land is nowhere toContinue reading “You Can’t See the Whole Picture… But God Can!”

Move Mountains. Don’t Make Them.

Nothing ever works right for me. Nothing good ever happens to me. It’s always bad. I always get the raw end of the deal or the short end of the stick. The things we say when life is not going the way life is supposed to go. I know this because I say those thingsContinue reading “Move Mountains. Don’t Make Them.”
