Hey friends! Recently, I stood between two cars. Both wrecked, totaled to be exact.

They repeatedly said ”God is good!” To my left I saw the car that just a few hours before I held the sobbing mother of a young woman who is fighting for...

FROM A DISGRACE TO ACCEPTED BY HIS GRACE. Friends, as I was reading up on some of the ladies in the Bible, I saw that several of them, Mary Magdalene, woman at the well, woman caught in adultery; were all a DISGRACE in their community. Most people you would ask about them would not have a high opinion of them. But when they met Jesus, they went from disgraced to accepted by His grace.

Hey friends! Was just sitting and reminiscing this morning and was reminded of a time when someone saved my life.

One day we were up on the side of the mountain cutting trail and as I took a step back to take a bite with my McCloud, I slipped and almost fell down the mountain side, to what could have been my death or at minimum serious...

Hey friends, Do you know that the Father never leaves us or forsakes us. Never. He is always with us. Even when we feel incredibly alone. Even when our hearts are so tired.
