What a Week!
Reposted From June 2004 I picked up Chris (9) from camp on Wednesday morning and I was really glad to see him. It was obvious he had fun, yet there were some tough moments which I will share later. After he was home a day or so I began to realize how peaceful the house…

Mid-Week Motivation
Starting Your Day Out Right! Scripture, Short Devotion “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 (KJV) Our God knows there are times in our walk as believers when we must actively choose to exercise faith.

WHOA! WhOA! SPLASH!
I’m breaking the rules for this photo and supplying a story. It was a gorgeous Sunday afternoon in Orlando and the kids wanted to go for a swim. I was dressed in fashionable Walmart pool lounging attire and it was cool enough ( 80s) I could even wear my hair down. I wasn’t planning on…

Releasing your New Identity
There’s a Native American Fable about at young brave who swiped a golden eagle egg from its nest and placed it with a bunch of prairie chicken eggs. The eagle egg hatched and didn’t know his true identity. He grew up thinking he was a prairie chicken. He scratched and clucked like all the other…
The Journey of Prayer
You’ve prayed for weeks, days, months, and now years for your spouse’s salvation. The prayers aren’t as frequent as before. Instead, a sense of hopelessness has slowly replaced the original fervency of your petitions. You’ve asked so many times, yet God seems to either not hear you or your spouse has an unusually thick skull.…
