I say this, to invite someone, because it is so simple and doesn’t cost much. Your intentional act of reaching out could change someone’s life. I tend to wonder what matters most in GOD’S eyes. Is it the big things we do that everyone notices or is it the small that no one sees? We … More SMALL OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE INTENTIONAL
With all our searching and strivings don’t we always seem to come up empty handed? It’s sad really, because so many are lost and so many search to fill the hole that GOD placed in their hearts. We tend to seek immediate gratification and we don’t seem to find it there either. Our phones or … More WHAT REALLY MATTERS
The scene above and where I live in AZ is a continual reminder to me to praise GOD for HIS grace and mercy. I love the saguaro cactus and how they stand tall with arms raised as if to praise GOD in all of HIS creation. Some might think the desert is ugly, but the … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS
What we fill ourselves with matters. We try to take in the right food for nourishment so why not take in the best we can for our souls? We all on this planet have a need to fill a hole within us that was placed there by the Almighty GOD in Heaven. HE knew what … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS

I recently read this by Paul David Tripp: “But you can have hope because YOUR LORD has complete rule over all the places where you will need HIS promises to become your reality.” HIS promises are always perfect and true…….ours are not because how often do we break our promises? I must admit that I … More HIS PROMISES – OUR REALITY
Recently I read that we are never to take GOD for granted. Don’t take for granted that consistent “small voice” as a favor upon you. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I have that small nagging……a feeling that something between me and GOD is not right. I notice a barrier there when I pray, … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS
I have often sat on a beach feeling the warm breeze, watching the waves come in and feeling the sand under my feet and thought: I wish this exact moment would last……..forever. It is interesting to me that GOD has placed the desire for forever into our hearts and minds. It is a desire for … More EVER YOURS
Forgive me LORD when I try to run from the hard things. I wrote that once during a difficult time. Don’t we try to avoid and run from the hard painful things? It is our human nature to avoid whatever is painful whether it is physical or mental or deep within our souls. No one likes … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS
