There’s a wonderful song by Rogers and Hammerstein: “When you walk through a storm, keep your head up high, and don’t be afraid of the dark…” This has been a favorite of mine almost from the first time I heard it. When it’s sung, it’s more than powerful because the music and words complement each […]

This thought passed through my thinking as I was attending a meeting recently. We sometimes forget that -1- can make a tremendous statement. Now… apply this to you and what you do and say (and don’t). I’ve heard it said that it really isn’t all that important since it was only me (1). Not true.
Did you grow up knowing you needed a Savior? And ‘needed’ is spelled in capital letters. I suspect that unless your family was Pentecostal, the probability for most of we who were raised in mainstream churches didn’t. Baptists did though. Point being is that if you didn’t know… how do you know? What was your
Do you find yourself using those or similar words? It’s the same lament that Paul wrote about – doing the things he doesn’t want to do and not doing the things he did want to do (Romans 7:19). I definitely get irritated with me when I do this … and it’s not just the 1st

Trustable. Are you trustable? It probably would help if I provided my definition for this word so you’d know how I was defining and expressing this word. I do realize that most people would use ‘trustworthy’ which is a great word and more well known and understood, but I like ‘trustable’. In my world of
I know I’ve written on Mary and Martha before, but not in this context. If I had a choice, I would want to be Mary. But I think there could be too much of Martha in me. Not to disparage Martha – she had many admirable qualities and if Martha was like Mary… Still, I’d
Can’t take the credit… my friend Keith penned and pinned the following to one of my posts that I really felt was apt: “Faith without works is dead! Love without expression is dead! Hope without articulation is dead! Worship without the spirit and truth is dead! The Body without the Spirit is dead! Have no
“Well done, good and faithful servant…” (Matthew 25:23) Do you long to hear that? Confirming that what you are doing is meaningful, that makes a difference? A question I do have for you – do you know that you are important? That you are valued? That you are touching lives and making a difference? If
