So continuing with our thoughts on our identity in Christ, the ultimate end of owning that identity is realizing that we are citizens of Heaven! Sometimes we forget that fact! Our citizenship is in Heaven!!! (Philippians 3:20-21). This life is temporary — we are merely shifting shadows (Psalm 144:4). Sometimes we forget that we are […]
I’m sure we’ve all heard the “you’re special” message like a million times. We know we’re special, right? But how do we get from “knowing” we’re special to acting like it? If we believe we are unique and special and loved by God, why do we allow ourselves to get pushed around by lying thoughts […]
So last week at church the message was about fear and I thought it would be good to bring up on the blog today. It never fails that just when I get a great idea about a creative endeavor, fear pops up to tell me I can’t do it. It will be too hard or […]
I don’t think enough can be said of the faithfulness of God. I’m sure I have mentioned it in previous blogs, and I know I say it to just about everyone I meet — I must sound like a broken record! LOL But it’s true! How faithful is God that He made a way for […]
Today I want to talk about the fact that God will be praised whether or not it comes from us! Have you ever thought about that? Have you ever considered that God is God whether or not we humans acknowledge that fact? The Bible says in Psalms 66:1 that all the earth will praise Him. […]

So this should be an easy one, we all know we shouldn’t worry. We all know we should always trust God no matter what. But when it comes down to it, I’m just as guilty as anyone else. I have a track record of falling back into worry and stress. It’s something that’s been there […]
We’ve been on a series in church called Back to Life, of course leading up to Easter which was yesterday. It got me thinking. Obviously we are talking about Jesus coming back to life, but even the faithfulness of Springtime to bring green grass and budding flowers back to us each year, it’s an opportunity, […]
What does it mean to have peace? I was talking with a friend this week about what it means to have peace in your life and it got me thinking — what does it mean? How do we define peace? Is it taking a spa day? Having a stay-cation? Relaxing to some smooth jazz with […]
So I’m reading the Bible in a year, like I’m sure most of us try to start doing in January. Well I used to have this Bible in a Year Bible that split the whole Bible into daily readings for the year. Somewhere along the way I lost track of it and I don’t have […]
