Sunday Sermon Reflection
This is a verse from a recent Sunday Sermon And it hit hard. I realized I tend to get “counsel” from a lot of places and it isn’t always God. Someone’s reaction can make me rethink my opinion. Someone’s opinion can make me rethink my reaction. What someone says about me can make me rethink…
Let’s Talk About Change
We tend to give change a bad rap as we get older and I get it. No doubt, it’s easier to do what we’ve always done, what we know how to do, and what we can do without much effort. But, then we are the very ones who grumble when we don’t know what our…
This Is How We Roll
Well, hey! Let’s make sure you’re in the right place. Here’s how we roll around here. We believe peptides have the ability to alter certain laws of nature. We love our children and our husbands while simultaneously wondering how they acquired and how we tolerate their, uh-hum, uniqueness. We believe books are for stacking as…
Changing is Not Failing
Here’s what you do next: you keep going. You take one more small step. You try again. Maybe consider a different approach. Or think about it a different way because if you keep doing the same thing you’re going to keep getting the same thing. Make an adjustment and keep moving. Don’t think about how…
How Do We Learn
I don’t know exactly how we learn (I’ve been listening to the Murdaugh Murders podcast if you know you know), but I do know this:If we go into a learning opportunity with the presumption that we will never be capable of using the information presented, we cut ourselves short. Let’s say you sit through a…

Clutter in random places puts up a barrier. It creates small annoyances that change my mood and inserts insecurities that prevent me from experiencing max…
It’s About to Get Big
The Bible tells us twice in Luke 2 that Mary, Jesus’s mother “treasured all these things in her heart” after she experienced a couple of significant things with her son. Mary, Honey, I get that. I really do. Anytime we are all around a table together, I feel like my senses are in overdrive. Despite…
Prayer Points on Fear
There is nothing in our lives we can’t pray about. Barking dogs, bad hair, tight hamstrings, messy closets…nothing. God wants it all. Remember, prayer is an act of obedience and he knows being obedient in all things takes practice on our part. So hit your knees often. Sometimes, words fail us – especially when a…
Fear and Fatigue
The anxiety and dread that go along with fear is exhausting. It’s taxing on our mind and body to battle the desire to flee over and over again. Fear causes faith fatigue. Fear causes growth fatigue. Fear causes prayer fatigue. Know that’s part of it. It’s part of the gig. Until we can tamp down…
