Christmas isn’t an easy or exciting time for everyone. Some years may feel more exciting than others. Personally, Christmas is my favorite holiday, but this year has been hard. My mind has been flooded with memories and the realization that my daddy won’t be here. I am reminded of all the things that he isn’t… Continue reading The Hope of Christmas
As Unto the Lord
When you hear, “as unto the Lord,” what do you think of? This is one of those phrases we don’t have to look deeply into Greek or Hebrew to discover a theological, earth-shattering meaning.

Sometimes life gets so hard and you don’t know what to do next. But being faithful gives you those answers. Make the coffee. Read your Bible. Go to… Continue reading Maybe Being Faithful Truly is the Answer

Hid In Christ
I recently read, “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:1-3.) I looked up… Continue reading Hid In Christ
