[Why are you so afraid?] Nothing tests our faith more than when we're forced to wait, especially in the middle of a storm. When prayers seem to go unanswered, fear and doubt can creep in. We may even wonder if God cares what happens to us. Jesus disciples wondered too. When Jesus slept, as the wind … Continue reading Testing, Testing, is this thing On?
The Backseat Flyer – Part 2
[To strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him] In Part 1 of this 3 part series I simplified the message that Jesus drove home to His Disciples: distressing things would occur, but they would have peace in Him.

Hope and a Future – Part 1
[A Father to the Fatherless] I was wrong---again. It's okay, I'm wrong quit frequently. This is not self-deprecation; I'm not purposefully beating myself up. I am, however, making a confession. I get things wrong more than I care to admit, and while I don't enjoy making mistakes, it's often the only way we ever learn; … Continue reading Hope and a Future – Part 1

Music That Speaks https://youtu.be/_BPNLi1TPXE Casting Crowns has always been one of my favorites; from the first song I was introduced to I was hooked. They've spoken into so many of my own trials as well as joys over the years. I've posted the story behind the song first, even though the song speaks volumes on it's … Continue reading Trust
