Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters As I have sat for almost 2 days watching the Masters Golf Tournament, I watched how the top players putted the same holes for 4 days straight. How Rory putted faster, Justin took his time, Jordan cheered after he was patient lining things up over and over before he took … [Read more...]
Spring Forward: The Challenges of Change
Yesterday, most of us in the US had to spring forward our clocks one hour. This is a love/hate moment for me. I hate to spring forward and lose 1 hour of sleep, my body takes about a week to adjust and mourn the loss…. BUT the love part is that I get about 2-3 hours more lighted time in the evenings to ride my bike and to do more active things outdoors. I know us moms and dads struggle … [Read more...]

Often times when things are going good we don’t talk to God as much, but when things start to crumble we look to Him and often ask “why” or “how come.” My journey through life in my 46 years so far has had some ups, downs, curves, twists, turns, and sometimes sharp drops out of nowhere. I grew up primarily in a divorced home with 2 parents that were struggling in their own right. Before age … [Read more...]
