I’m not an exercise buff.  Not even close.  It’s been weeks, even months since I last worked out.  I used to be better about it and I’d go to the gym on a regular basis.  I had the Y membership…

What comes to mind as you think about the events of Holy Week?  What do you picture in your mind’s eye as you contemplate the Triumphal Entry, the Last Supper, the trial and conviction of Jesus, Good Friday and the…

Lots of times when I read Biblical accounts, I like to put myself in the shoes of those who were at the scene.  Like an actor, I imagine myself playing the role of a major character and wonder if…

I’ve been sensing in these weeks leading up to Easter, the need to focus some attention on evaluating the heart.  My church background did not include much in tradition as far as Lent, but I can see the value of…

Sometimes as I’m writing a blog post, the overarching theme or idea comes quickly.  The details of what I feel I need to write however, can come at a much slower pace.  This week is one such week where God…

I’ll admit it.  I might be treading on thin ice with this week’s post.  Some may even say “stick with what you know” and to that I’d probably agree (for the most part).  But I’m certain that when God lays…

I watched a favorite movie of mine the other day:  Hoosiers.  It’s getting a little dated but I still get “all the feels” whenever I view it.  Hoosiers is such a compelling story.  Having 4 boys at home who are…

There are lots of hard statements in the Bible.  Verses which challenge and stretch our logic to the nth degree.  Passages which turn the world’s view of things on its head and force us to look at life through a…

"A New Year, a new you." 

"How to make your financial New Years resolutions stick." 

"This year, resolve to lose weight." 

"Quit smoking in 2017." 

Do a quick Google search of words and images surrounding New…
