Through thick and thin.
The Lord is good. Is he not? So often we forget who we are. A child of God (if we made the choice to accept the Holy Spirit into our hearts, of course – John 1:12). So as children of God, we basically forget who our dad is regularly. How on earth is that possible!?…

The Tunnel of Life
When dealing with something difficult, all too often we are told to look towards the light at the end of the tunnel. But how did we get in the tunnel in the first place? If you ever got trapped in a really long, scary tunnel, why would you choose to go in another one when…

Jesus, the Troublemaker
There are so many portrayals of Jesus. You got peace-loving sheep-hugging Jesus, Jesus wearing pretty robes and making a cute face, computer nerd Jesus, and even black Jesus. In the movies he is either super weird (The Last Temptation of Christ), or he is a super wimp. The thing is, Jesus was not like this…

Change, from the inside out.
A young fellow college student recently told me her whole life story. Growing up she was very sheltered as her parents tried to raise her to be a “good girl”.

Death is Weird.
It has been a few years since my father has died and this is the first year I actually really feel it. For many reasons my heart has gone through so many changes since his passing. Only a few months ago have I truly mourned his passing. The reality of it all hit me like…

Whether it be family, friends, or food, you better be thankful on Thursday, or else! Although, there are plenty of people that have to work tomorrow and I…

The Loving Leader Loves the Loose Lady
Jesus Christ loves everyone the same. Always has, and always will. Even those of us that think we are terrible people, even the ones that think they are great. He loves us all. Before we even had a chance to sin, he already knew we would and forgave us. That is a pretty amazing thing.…
