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...
Giving Thanks in All Things
Today is Thanksgiving Day, a day we slow down to give thanks. Yet, I was reminded this morning that I should be giving thanks every day of the year, not just on Thanksgiving. And I try to. I have a Thank You journal by my chair to write down what I’m thankful for...
A New Year: Finding Peace in God
It's almost 2022! No one knows what 2022 holds for us except God. 2020 and 2021 have been hard—adjusting to life with Covid, political division, even division within our churches and families over issues. I thought Covid would be in the past when we got to this day...

A Remedy for Anxiety
