Hope – What should we hope for in the ongoing aftermath of 2020?
Hope is “a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain things to happen.” This time last year, we all had such hope for 2020 only to have those expectations and desires dashed by the global pandemic. 2020 also confronted us with many challenges that have rightfully caused us to…
Staying Thankful when You’re Stretched Thin
“Cultivating an attitude of gratitude, thankfulness for thanksgiving…” There is much to be thankful for. This isn’t so obvious when we’re harried and exhausted, when there are “a billion” things to do and there is no time, when you’re stretched thin and emotionally strained. Gratitude isn’t so obvious in sickness…
Losing Your Child
In this life, I don’t know that there is much worse than losing your child. Whatever the circumstances may be, nothing can really prepare you and every parent would rather take their child’s place. And yet, our good God, allows for these heart-wrenching, gutting moments to touch our lives and…

“Good” is a word that we use often in our everyday conversations. We “have a good day”, “watch a good movie”, “enjoy a good meal”, etc. It’s truly a part of our everyday speech and why not? The Lord created this entire world and there is much goodness to be…
Overcoming Is In Our Spiritual DNA
Overcoming is in the spiritual DNA of God’s people. From the moment that Adam and Eve were exiled out of the Garden of Eden, there was toil and suffering but there was also the promise of victory. God’s children will overcome in the end. When you read the great narratives…
Be Still
What does peace feel like? What does peace look like? The rapid pace of change has become such regular part of life that, despite our best intentions, the hours of our day are maxed out before we know it and we’re still trying to cram in more activities, meetings, events,…
No Mother is Perfect
Every Mother’s Day that goes by, I come to realize more and more just how blessed I am. No mother is perfect but, in all our sinfulness, I know that mine is perfect for me. In my older years, I have come to know this even more deeply. When I…
