Tomorrow on earth is not guaranteed. Eternity is!
“Look here, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit.” How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone.” …

“When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul.” I have posted the story of the song “It is Well” before and in the face of the tragedy that has unfolded in Texas, it seems inadequate yet relevant to post…

There are no shortcuts
A common phrase used by coaches in sports, careers, marriage, life. We’ve been blessed this week to spend time with two wonderful families that God placed in our path last year. I love the extension of our family that these families represent and I pray we do the same for them. The laughter. The…

Stairs or Elevator
Are you a stairs or elevator person? I continue to battle this insidious disease called Type-2 Diabetes, struggling to reign in my desire for food that is counter to what my body needs and likes. My mind likes so many foods and sweets that my body rejects. Ah, the battle rages! One key element for…
