I had a true "Walking by Faith, Tripping Constantly" moment at Walmart today. A quick comment on my shirt turned into a whirlwind conversation with a woman who has spent her life in church leadership, but is currently carrying a lot of confusion and deep bitterness. She was all over the place, questioning the Bible … Continue reading Walking by Faith – Tripping Constantly

A Child’s Heart
On this day, she experienced fresh air, the love of family, laughter, worship, and good music at JFest. The dirt on her cheek was evidence of a day well spent in God's creation, soaking up the sunshine and making memories. What she doesn't fully understand yet is that something even greater is taking place—that she … Continue reading A Child’s Heart
The Ministry of the Trenches
Once again, sleep evades me. My mind works overtime, keeping pace with the steady, rhythmic whir of the fan beside my bed. My eyes are heavy, my body aches with exhaustion, yet my thoughts are consumed by the sheer number of people who are desperately struggling right now.The trials they are enduring are staggering. They … Continue reading The Ministry of the Trenches
Underneath the Shade
Underneath the shade tree,Where the children play,Their laughter drifts upon the breezeLike any other day. Their innocence we envy,They play without a care;They see no social barriers,With spirits full of flair. Hate is not an instinct;It’s a lesson they are taught.If only they could stay this way—But we know that they will not. When young, … Continue reading Underneath the Shade

Sometimes my soul just needs the stillness.My mind needs the knowledge that He's with me.My heart … Continue reading In the Stillness

After a recent visit from a "Porch Pirate," Kevin installed a Ring doorbell. He’s been having a blast playing with the tech, while I’m over here talking back to the camera! (I’m sure that’s no surprise to anyone who knows me. 😂)But watching the footage gave me a bit of a reality check. I honestly … Continue reading The Walk And The Worth
Melted to Mend: Finding A Bond in the Brokenness
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." — Psalm 147:3 Another Monday has arrived. I was startled awake by my alarm this morning—a rare occurrence for me—but I suppose some days we simply require a little more rest than others. Yesterday was the typical whirlwind of a Sunday, yet it remains my favorite … Continue reading Melted to Mend: Finding A Bond in the Brokenness
Morning Reflections: The Hard Way Home
Sunday, May 17, 2026 "I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done." — Psalm 143:5 As I sit here this morning, listening to the rhythmic gurgling of the coffee pot, my mind drifts back into the past. I’m finding that with age, I … Continue reading Morning Reflections: The Hard Way Home
