You left well, Dolly
There is a common saying that brings comfort to each of us who lose a loved one that says “Heaven gained.” I beg to differ and agree. I don’t believe any person leaving this World, who has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, will be a ‘gain’ to God’s majestic Kingdom. I believe it…

Sink or Sail
Did you know the Titanic had a sister ship named the Olympic? The Olympic had stolen most of the press and accolades of the day by being the first to be launched. Her lavishness and modern amenities were mirrored by the Titanic. She was also injured, but she did not sink. Odds are we would…

Grateful to be an American
On this 250th anniversary of America’s establishment, I am so, so genuinely grateful to be an American. I am humbled that God chose and allowed me to be an American. I am thankful for what being an American means for me. “But someone who does not know, and then does something wrong, will be…
