Why Me?
Do you ever think that God is out to get you, that He is just waiting for you to mess up? Sometimes, I meet Christians who view their lives through the “Why me?” lens. The question I have is this: ” Why not you? ” I say this because life has it’s share of suffering […]

The Regret Stealer
This morning I want to address a topic that is close to my heart. Something I have noticed is rampant among Christians is living with regret. We all have things that we wish we hadn’t done or said, but it seems that there is a disconnect with how to find freedom from the chains of […]
Peace that Transcends Understanding

As many of us our keeping our eye on Florence, I want to share an entry from my devotional, Sitting at His Feet, that points us to our […]
