One of the many things that I’m in awe about is how an omniscient and omnipresent Creator and God can care about me, wanting me to stay in contact and constant communication with Him. And He cared enough to both give us instruction and give us a Helper! He wants us to stay connected to…
As I think back on my journey in faith, I’m so grateful for the countless, faithful messengers of the Lord who shared with me His gospel and guided me to a closer walk with Christ. Many of those helped with understanding for sure, but some also created accountability in ways that they may never know….
This week’s poem was inspired by a prompt from my friend Bob Nordeman. He asked if I’d ever written about “legacy”…which I had not…and he mentioned how his daughter Nichole’s song by that name was one of his favorites. And then in a divine “aha moment”, shortly thereafter, I heard Nichole’s song on KLOVE (you…
It’s so easy to be overcome with worry and fear as we look forward into the uncertainty of life. And even though we know that our God is faithful and He is certain, when we lose focus on Him and let our minds wander, it’s then we can be traumatized by what might be next….

I yearn for those moments when I feel God’s presence…reminding me He’s near…encouraging me to trust Him even more. We hear about God’s presence in Exodus 24:17, “the awesome sight: the glory of the Lord…like a raging fire.” I love that description…a raging fire…and even though I typically feel His presence much more subtly than…
My wife worked on a 3,000 piece puzzle…it got increasingly beautiful as various images within the puzzle came together…and it was spectacular when all the pieces were finally put in place. Which got me thinking about our lives, the puzzles we really are, and our Creator and Puzzleer who knows how each piece fits together…
