I wonder what you do or where you go when you need some PEACE for your troubled SOUL, and some QUIET for deeper REFLECTION? Over the years, in each place Jesus has led my wife and me to live and serve Him, we’ve sought for and found such a place. What stories do you […]
As Easter fades into the rear-view mirror for us and the busyness of life consumes us, my heart is challenged with this question: So, what difference does Easter weekend make in my life and my world, today and going forward? I believe the close friends of Jesus were wrestling with that very same question in the […]
We’ve all had the experience of finding ourselves reliving an experience in our memory, trying to squeeze every last drop of enjoyment and perhaps meaning from that memory.

The Holy Spirit led all […]
Momentum is a very special word with many different applications. I wonder how you define it and what images come into your mind when you think of ‘momentum’?
