Grown in Faith

While driving I noticed the sun rising beautifully. Though beautiful, it was partly covered by a thick, grey smoke, from a local building. The grey smoke partly concealed, what the sun was trying to share. Sometimes sin is like that smoke, concealing the beauty within us and concealing all that we have to offer. We…

One of my favorite flowers are the ones that many call simple weeds. They grow wild and will grow anywhere that they are able. Many try to toss them aside or mow them down, instead of appreciating their beauty and their use. They grow amidst the long grass, through sidewalk cracks, they decorate waterways and…

We must take a stand for our faith. Not rudely, not with anger or haste. However, we must stand up against those that go against God. It is not always easy my friend. Though it is always necessary. Worldly pressures are all around us. Many try to normalize sin. Please friend, do not listen to…

We are all on our own walk with God. Some people know the Bible so well, whilst some are just starting to learn it. Some know the Bible, though have little faith. Some know not the Bible well, though they have a tremendous amount of faith. Some are a mix of both. Friend, do not…

Sometimes those same parents will wrap their day in a perfect little bow. Meanwhile, some of…

“One day at a time.” The older I get, the more wisdom I find in this quote. We can have a plan, but we must find our peace in God’s plan and not our own. For life is truly a journey with many matters that we pass through. There are times when I feel myself,…
