Just Another Monday

  It’s Just Another Monday…  It’s 10:30 Monday morning, and Chicken Little was right all along…the sky is falling. Not in its entirety, but significant chunks are coming down. It began yesterday morning when our Children’s Director told me that two elementary Sunday School teachers wanted a year’s sabbatical from their classes. That evening I […]

A Recent True Story

  No one should dread getting an email or Facebook message and faint while reading it. So I’ve cut my weekly devotionals down. I’ve been pretty good in my limited communication.

God opened his mouth and hurled 50,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars across billions of light years. Counting them at one per second would consume the next fifteen hundred trillion years!

Sometimes an unusual burst of liberality in our souls is embezzled by fear of being taken advantage of. We are afraid there isn’t enough to share with anybody else. This thinking is contrary […]

Pay attention to God's traffic signals as you follow His heart and plans for your life.

Steps and Stops

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord:” Psalm 37:23 KJV You can stop temporarily and not be quitting. You can actually stop to rest without disrupting God’s plan for your life. Some are addicted to constant motion; even slowing down triggers panic. But while we celebrate God calculating the steps of […]
