A Time to Reflect
Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe we’re saying goodbye to 2024 and preparing to embrace all that’s ahead in 2025. One of the traditions I’ve observed for years is to spend New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day reflecting on the previous year and praying for the days...
An Unforgettable Christmas
Ten years ago on this day, December 19th, shortly before 8:00 am, my mom took her last breath on this earth at the age of 98. My brother and I were by her side when she stepped into the presence of her Lord and Savior. I remember thinking, “Mom, you’re going to...
Do You Want to Quit?
"I want to quit!" Most of us have probably said those words more than once in our lives. Perhaps you wanted to quit your marriage, a job, a ministry you’ve been leading or serving in, or a relationship that’s difficult. How do we know when to quit and when to hang...

God is Still on the Throne
I vividly remember where I was on the morning of September 11, 2001, when I heard the news of the terrorist attacks in New York City. The events that happened that day will forever stay etched in my memory. So many feelings and emotions swept over me that day and...
Gentleness: Missing in Action?
If someone asked me to give one word to describe our world today and the way we’re responding to one another, gentleness would not be the first word I’d think of. We don’t see a lot of gentleness today. Instead, we see people yelling at each other, shooting each...
Because He Lives . . .
The years 2020 and 2021 have been challenging. Just when I say, “It can’t get any worse,” something happens that proves me wrong. It has been a season that has kept me on my knees looking to Him for strength, wisdom, and guidance. Our churches have been stretched...
