Look at this picture above. Do you see the rutted road which leads off into the distance of what appears to be an uncertain path? Think of this as you are walking or driving down this well-worn road, not knowing what to expect as you begin your day. Where does your...

Did you ever wonder where the idea of choosing a "WORD" for the New Year came from or who started it? I did. So, I googled it. It seemed back in 1990; President George Bush was looking for a word. Even further back than 1990, there were a group of individuals who were...

As another year closes, I will end with an entirely different post. This departure is not permanent, rather it is a different focus for me in light of a recent sermon I heard in church. The premise is this:  As Christians we are called to be “Athletes,” “Farmers,” and...

2022 is the year of my own small groups study on “PRAYER.”  Our group has studied 6 different small group studies on the topic of PRAYER.  These women have grown spiritually in ways they would have never imagined in a traditional small group.  I recently sent the...
