Yesterday, as i was leaving band practice, i stumped my toe on my emergency brake pedal while getting into my truck. And man, did it hurt. i ended up having to pull over shortly, because i realized that blood was pouring out the tip of my toe. So as i cleaned my wound, i was [...]
So i’ve been thinking about this quote for some time now….it’s from Lee Stroble’s book, The Case for Faith. I don’t know if he said it or if someone else did but anyway, it says….”Only in a world where faith is difficult, can faith exist.” And how true this is! We wouldn’t need faith if we [...]
So, lately i’ve been thinking about what it means to honor our parents. i think alot of times, people translate the word honor as meaning “obey.” And i disagree with that. Yes, we are called to obey our parents, but Ephesians 6 says ”Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.” So there [...]
So, i’ve been in a funk lately…..i guess the best way to describe it is just being spiritually dry, or possibly complacent. i feel like it’s stemming mainly from my personal time, or lack thereof, with the Lord. There hasn’t been a lack of daily dialogue with Him, but it’s been hard for me to [...]
A couple of Thursday’s ago, one of my really good friend’s mother passed away from pancreatic cancer. She was a wonderful woman and had an amazing heart. She was a joy to be around and never had a hard time cracking a smile. i found out about the diagnosis this past summer and it hit me [...]
Jesus’s main concern is not that we stop sinning, but that we experience and live in His love and grace. He didn’t come to earth to make us stop sinning. He didn’t come to turn bad people into good people. He wanted to be with the people He loved forever. He was and is the [...]
Ok, so i’m through the first 11 chapters of Genesis. i want to comment on a few things that stand out. i’ll try to keep it as brief as possible.
Gen 4 –> Cain and Able: It’s in verse 5 that Cain became angry and it’s here that temptation crept in. The Lord intervened to let him [...]
So, it’s on my heart to read the entire bible, cover-to-cover. However, more than my desire to do this is my desire to know the Father more and more each day-to draw in close to Him. For this purpose i didn’t put a time frame on when i want to complete it, but i do [...]

Many times i’ve prayed, and heard other people pray something along the lines of, “God, give me the strength to …….. so that i can stand up to these enemies,” or “God, please get me through this situation so that i can……….and be a strong man/woman of God,” and other similar things.
