“High” Light

It’s those unexpected moments that stay with you. Last night was no exception. The Karate Team was setting up; sound system, pads, boards and all kinds of “karate stuff”. The kids were gathering and the fun began. Jumping over things and people,...

Satisfied?

Yes, that is a basket of apples and sweet potatoes! I recently experienced a “fast” of sorts based on the book “7” by Jen Hatmaker. This book will challenge you to recognize the excess most of us live with in several areas of our lives…...
Where I am..

Where I am..

I’ve recently read the book Interrupted by Jen Hatmaker and I’m now reading her follow up book, 7. I highly recommend them both but not if you want to keep everything status-quo.  On top of these books “rocking my world” I’m also reading...

No Room

I never get tired or reading Luke’s account of Jesus’ birth. I always stop at the words, “no room for them in the inn”.  Now I don’t know if there was a convention for shepherds taking place that booked all the rooms or maybe the...

God Is…

God is who He says He is. Recently we began studying Beth Moore’s book Believing God at our extended stay hotel ministry.  This is the first point and the building block for all others to follow. It truly is fundamental to our belief system. Can you imagine being in a...

Life with Sam

Oh, those pets we love. They teach us so much about life don’t they?  How to love, how to live and sometimes how to grieve.  They steal our hearts with those looks, those touches, those examples of unconditional love. Once they have our hearts they teach us we...

Center Line

Well, I’m again attempting to get back in shape, so I’m trying to spend some time on the trails at the park. Now the paved trails have a center line to give runners and bikers lanes to stay in to keep everyone safe. As I was running today (not sure I would...
