Recently, someone asked me a question. HOW DO YOU TELL SOMEONE ABOUT JESUS? Someone who doesn't want to hear about HIM..someone who has chosen to reject HIM.. My answer: You live it. They simply need you to SHOW THEM JESUS. They don't need for you to hit them over the head with The Bible..they don't …
Come a long way…
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 …
In It, Not OF It
As "authentic" Christians, we are to live in this world without being OF this world. Sometimes..no, MOST of the time, it's a battle. A battle against self and the enemy.

WHAT IF?
I have started several posts and even have 11 in the "draft" or unpublished phase. It's just not their time to be posted yet. As I was sitting with my family..I felt the urge to write the poem below. I used to write poetry a lot, but it has been a long time. My hope …
Transparent, Vulnerable and Unashamed

Picture it : Treadmill...Music...Caught up in worshipping my Redeemer..hands raised...eyes closed...it was beautiful. Thank goodness. 🙂 Believe me, it could have …

The Power Of Words
Ephesians 4:29 (NIV) ~ Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Paul was writing to the church of Ephesus because of how the people were treating each other. …
A Beautiful Metamorphosis
Here in South Georgia, we are FINALLY getting some REAL Fall weather! To us, a day with a high in the upper 60's or even low 70's is amazing! Especially, with a nice cool breeze. Changes can be nice sometimes. Other times, not so much. Life is ALL about change though. Think …
