An older home, slated for being demolished. It was unkempt, uncared for and the foundation below it crumbling. What the world deemed broken and in disrepair, one man saw potential. So, he purchased the old home and did something unexpected. The man moved the house to a new location, with a better foundation. From there,…

Spread joy and laughter
I told a joke to my youngest son the other day. I immediately started laughing out loud. My laughter lasting longer than my youngest was expecting. Before he knew it, he was laughing with me. However, less at the joke itself. He stated that although the joke wasn’t that funny, he said my laughter is…

Prioritize kindness
I read a story recently of a young man that got injured in a skateboarding incident. This young man needed a doctor. However, he needed a ride to get to some help. He decided to call an uber. The man that picked him up took him from an urgent care, to an ER, where the…

Heaven bound
I want to make it to heaven When that day does come I don’t want to be without God Like a hopeful song, left unsung I don’t want to live my life Ever apart from Him Always consumed, always held down Always stuck somewhere in sin I want to walk with Him daily In everything…

The waving man
We pass him frequently on our way home. An older man, he sits with his folding chair out on his front lawn. He waves to everyone who passes by, as though they were an old friend. His presence like a gentle reminder of care and love that still exist in a sometimes-hurting world. How often…

For those that act in that way are often looking for a fight, don’t let them win by participating. Right now, as…

One day at a time
One day at a time. This is something that I am learning. I have a tendency to want to have everything just so and have it all mapped out. Though I have come to find out over the years, I can plan for my future and I can do the necessary things to prepare for…

Love your neighbor
When my brother and I were little, we loved playing with our cousins on our aunt’s teeter totter. My brother’s favorite thing to do was to sit on it and not push up. So, I would be stuck in the air. My little legs dangling, yelling at him to put me down! It’s actually quite…

Look up
It’s amazing what you can see when you look up. Many times, in this life we look down. We look down at the hardships, at the trials. We see the dysfunction and the hurt and the pain. Though we don’t spend enough time looking up to God, whom so lovingly is reaching out towards us.…
