Hide and Seek

Life with two toddlers is always an adventure. My daughter Amelia, who is two years old, has been really into hide-and-seek.

Activate

Has God giving you a word for this year? As my wife, Chelsey and I prayed, the Lord, gave us the word “activate” for 2023. As I dwelt on this and spent time with the Lord, I realized that this word has many implications in my personal life. For one, I’m a children’s pastor at […]

Can You Picture It?

As my fellow Texans know, this summer heat has been a beating. Trees are drying out and these days of 100+ temperatures are taking their toll. In the midst of this, Chelsey and I have been praying for God to send rain! We need rain to water the ground and to cool things off. Well, […]

When You’ve Been Done Wrong

Do you not say, “I will repay evil”; wait for the Lord, and he will save you. Proverbs 20:22 How easy it is to desire retaliation when we’ve been done wrong. Often, our instinct is to make the person suffer as we have. If someone speaks badly of us, we are tempted to speak badly […]

Instructions… What a relief!

Instructions- What a relief!   Joshua 6 6 Now the gates of Jericho were securely barred because of the Israelites.
