“I don’t think the way you think. The way you work isn’t the way I work.” God’s Decree. “For as the sky soars high above earth, so the way I work surpasses the way you work, and the way I think is beyond the way you think. Just as rain and snow descend from the Read more

We’ve all run into them, in the streets, in our homes and in our churches … we may even be one. I’m talking about the poor listeners. I admit there have been times when the person speaking starts to sound like Charlie Brown’s teacher. When that happens, I find myself pulling my focus back from my Read more

Congratulations, you’ve made it to 2012. If you are like me, you are probably a few pounds heavier than you were in 2011. I don’t think I have to explain to you why that is, especially if your home was the one to host the last Christmas dinner of the season. You know, the dinner Read more

There’s an old Irish proverb I like that says, “You can’t plow a field by turning it over in your mind.” I liked it a lot more until I realized that I haven’t been doing as much plowing as I should be. It seems that I’m busy, but not very productive. I spend a lot Read more

‘Twas the week before Christmas when all through my head Stirred the thoughts of the Season I’d now come to dread.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8, NIV) For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12, NIV) My morning schedule changed today. Since it was Saturday, Read more

I began writing this devotion a couple of months ago and decided to scrap it because I thought it was too ‘heavy’. After listening to a speaker one Sunday night share the same topic, I thought maybe God was giving me a nudge, so here it is. The speaker, Craig Groeschel, summarized the story in Read more

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time Read more

Gratitude is a wonderful antidote for those times when we feel down, lonely, neglected or hard done by. The blessings I have are too numerous to mention, however, when I look back on my life, one of the things I’m most thankful for is the most surprising … it’s the difficult times or the ‘deserts’ Read more
