So...lately, a certain word keeps popping up. Like all the time. In my quiet time. In my "digging deeper" study time in HIS Word. In life in general. Have you ever had this happen? You probably have. Do you try to ignore it..just a little bit? I know that I do sometimes. Why? Because, that …

I woke up really early this morning. If you know me very well, then you know that 4:45 a.m. is very very early for me. My dog woke me up first...she's a 6 year old toy poodle that occasionally likes to wake me up so that she can go out and graze like a horse. …

Life is filled with changes. It is definitely a fact that nothing stays the same. We age. We grow. Our minds change. Our bodies change. (not always a good thing.. 😉 ) Our opinions change.

Here in South Georgia, it was an extremely foggy morning! I could barely see two car lengths in front of me as I was driving this morning. I had to really focus on the road and also on my surroundings. It's not that I don't normally focus on the road, but because I …

The other night we were watching a documentary on TV and the man made a profound statement. In reference to his terrible childhood, he said: "You can't live in two places at the same time." Wow! I mean, that's so true. You can't be living in the present if you are still living in the …
