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…

Angel Tears?
Were there tears shed in Heaven as God’s only son arrived in Jerusalem? “Most of the crowd spread their garments on the road ahead of him, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. Jesus was in the center of the procession, and the people all around him were…

Hello?
“Look at me. I stand at the door. I knock. If you hear me call and open the door, I’ll come right in and sit down to supper with you. Conquerors will sit alongside me at the head table, just as I, having conquered, took the place of honor at the side of my Father.…

Believe It!
“Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.” I have read Romans chapter five hundreds, if not thousands of times. This morning verse 7 stood out, glaring at me with the fact that our selectivity of scripture likely leads to a life allowing…
