With Wings As Eagles

“Few things are more infectious than a godly lifestyle. The people you rub shoulders with everyday need that kind of challenge. Not prudish. Not preachy. Just cracker jack clean living. Just honest to goodness, bone – deep, non-hypocritical integrity.” Charles Swindoll I first came across this quote a couple of years ago, but it popped up in my inbox this morning. It prompts me to ask myself one question: Am I infectious? Does how I live my life draw others to me, or does it push them away? I can personally think of some people that I’ve known over the […]

In keeping with what I said in A Bit of a Change in Course, I want to start writing shorter posts, but doing it daily. Today I want to focus on Mark 12:31. This isn’t a religious post by any means, but rather a reminder to all of us to treat people with respect and dignity; regardless who they are.

One thing about social media is that you typically only see one side of a person; the side they want you to see. I’ve been guilty of it many times.

A life that would probably turn people away from me, and then a life I knew others would be […]

When I first created this blog website, I had a vision in mind. I wanted to create a place to share truth.

For many reasons, I’m deciding to change course a little bit in terms of this website and what is delivered to those who take the time to read it. I believe that God has placed it […]

There’s a lot on my mind this evening. I’m sitting here and I’m reminded that life is so short. I think about the tragedies which have occurred over the last few weeks here in America. I’m thinking about the families that are at home hurting tonight, the empty beds and rooms that only a short time ago were filled with laughter, those planning funerals as a result of the senseless and wicked actions of another, and the broken lives. Life is so incredibly short. We have such a short time here on earth and I often wonder if I’m spending […]
