Why Do I Have to Struggle?

To Keep Us Humble  
We all have something we struggle with.
Something that seems to hold us back.
The thing we wish could be different
so that life would be just what we want it to be.
It might be physical limitations, mental strife,
personality weakness (as we perceive it), bad experiences,
a painful past or struggles in the present,

Air Soft Gun danger/The Most Important Thing

They play it like paintball only you don’t have to be in a special place. I knew better (hindsight) but have [...]

Will I choose Life?

Every day in so many ways, I have the opportunity to choose life or death. From the time I wake up, by the thoughts I choose to think and indulge in, I choose life or death. If I choose to begin my day with God, I choose life. If I choose to begin my day [...]

Keeping our eyes on Jesus Christ - that is the only way to stay on the right road.Keeping our eyes on Jesus is like an athlete keeping their eyes on the goal. When our eyes shift, all of a sudden we start heading a different direction, away from the goal, away from our Savior. Sometimes [...]

Another Great Movie

We missed this movie in the theaters but rented it this week. “The Martian Child” with John Cusack. Watching this movie made me realize how many inane movies we have seen recently. This movie has such heart and is so meaningful. Our 15 year old son loved it also. It is about a widower who [...]

Goodbye Sam

My mother-in-law had to say goodbye to her pet of nineteen years this week. Her cat, Sam, had to be put to sleep. She was old and in bad shape. She was a good pet and companion to her all these years. She will be missed. My mother-in-law was so blessed by a poem the [...]

The Way to Life

God’s grace astounds me.
No matter how often I fail, He forgives me.
He never turns His back on me.
His love never fails.
Jesus made it possible.
Thank you Jesus for taking my sin and giving me your righteousness.
I could never make it without You.
You are my strength to face each day.
Without You, I can do nothing.
Live through me [...]
