Because of Grace we Press On
They unfriended me Times have changed. Ya think? I was listening to moms of teenage daughters lament the developing epidemic form of rejection, Facebook unfriending. My first thought was, “Are you serious? Facebook is just a game, a place to read something funny, learn about the latest fiasco in the life of an accident prone … Read more

I wondered what events prompted the display of a message so clear, yet so perplexing. “Lord show us your kindness.” It’s an understandable request. There is no complicated rhetoric to decipher; … Read more
Proverbs 30:1 ““I am weary, God, but I can prevail.” That’s what I’m going to be saying today….all day. Last night I went to the rodeo. Let me just say it. I love the rodeo! From the first announcement to the last event – I’m there. And that means I didn’t get here (home) until … Read more
