Reflection Matters
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” Colossians 3:23-24 This poem is so good and on point. Choosing good habits…

Ready?
There was a song written in 1969 whose words and message resonate with me more and more the older I get. The song was titled “I Wish We’d All Been Ready” and the message was about the rapture, when those of us who have surrendered our lives to Jesus will be removed from earth in…

Partly for the joy and satisfaction of planting and watching things grow and partly out of need to provide because of our family’s limited finances. Whatever the reason, I loved to help plant, care for and harvest what…

Be Willing to be Naive
“‘The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’” Matthew 25:40 NIV I recall when our kids were young we would pull up to stop signs or lights and oftentimes there would be someone asking for help.…
