Bump……bump, bump, bump…..bump, bump, bump…..bump, bump, baaaaaaa! Bump……bump, bump, bump…..bump, bump, bump…..bump, bump, baaaaaaa! And now you have the theme song from Rocky III, Eye of the Tiger, stuck in your head. You can thank me later. Life is a fight. We are fighting from the moment we take our first breath until the momentContinue reading “Life is a Fight!”

Sacred Accountability
After several weeks of travel, I am happy to be back in the grove—almost. Today’s blog is an adaptation of this past Sunday’s sermon. It is not uncommon for us to hear the word accountability. We recognize the importance of people around us who help us remain accountable. That might be accountability in our work,Continue reading “Sacred Accountability”
When Dreams Die
About a year ago, I went through a season of extreme discouragement. It is a time I hope I never have to repeat. There were moments when I thought I might not survive spiritually or mentally. I suppose, at some level, I was in a season of depression. One might wonder what brought on suchContinue reading “When Dreams Die”
I Need the Holy Spirit
Adapted from my sermon on Pentecost Sunday, 2024. Before we come to Christ, our greatest need is salvation. Once we have made that decision and surrendered our lives to Jesus, Our Greatest Need becomes the Holy Spirit’s daily activity. We need the Holy Spirit to become even more active in us as we grow inContinue reading “I Need the Holy Spirit”
Doors
I love doors. I know that’s an odd thing to like. I find the craftsmanship and variety beautiful. Doors also represent hope…something new and exciting on the other side. They may also represent something familiar and inviting. Think of a Christmas wreath hanging on your loved one’s front door. You know that there are amazingContinue reading “Doors”
Danger, Comparison Ahead
Comparing is human nature. We do it daily as it applies to many aspects of our lives. I compare menu items for lunch, fruit at the grocery store, the health of flowers at Home Depot, or the two socks that don’t match, but my teen wears them anyway. What’s up with that trend? Caprison isContinue reading “Danger, Comparison Ahead”
Change Is Needed
I am not a person who finds change difficult. I see change as exciting. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to find a new career every few months, but I love the progress that change brings. We have a new grocery store opening at the entrance to our subdivision. I could not be moreContinue reading “Change Is Needed”
Control
Its hands tightly gripped my neck. There was no place to go. I saw no way out. The room was dark except for a lightbulb blinking on the far side. I could not tell if I was above or below ground. All I knew was fear—fear of how this would end, fear of what IContinue reading “Control”
Donkey Party!
Have you ever been to a donkey party? Most likely, you have, though you may not know it. Donkey Parties were invented in 1887 by Philadelphia resident Charles Zimmerling. The party consisted of a group of guests, a large picture of a donkey, some tails, pins, and a blindfold. LIGHTBULB! Yes, you have been toContinue reading “Donkey Party!”
“Drat and Double-Drat”
I love being a child of the 1980s. Maybe not so much now that I am middle-aged, but it was a wonderful time to grow up. The cartoons were continuous and clean. We rode our bikes with BB guns in tow. We scaled fences, cheered for the Goonies, and rocked to “Don’t Stop Believing.” RonaldContinue reading ““Drat and Double-Drat””
