  • ”Choose Kindness!”

    “The thing about life is that we all have different opinions, ideas, and motives. From time to time, we say things, do things, make suggestions, give looks, speak out of turn, or talk before thinking things through—and often, the things we say or the ways we approach others are not helpful or even needful. Amen.…

  • “Alarm!”

    This morning as I woke up, one of the smoke alarms in my house was peeping. I started trying to figure out where in the world the sound was coming from. Needless to say, I eventually found it—and, of course, it needed a battery change. Amen. But as I thought about that alarm, I couldn’t…

  • “Wrong Address!”

    “I heard the best thing ever this morning—Amen!”It was a pastor preaching, and his words were simply this: “Never be jealous of what God does for someone else. What God has for you is for YOU, and He is never going to deliver your mail to someone else’s house.” Hallelujah! And I thought—oh my goodness—isn’t…

  • “Blame. Game. Change!”

    “The cycle of the blame game has been there since the very beginning. We can go all the way back to the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:12–19). Amen. Even today, in our own lives—whether we realize it or not—we often do the same thing. We begin to point fingers at everyone around us. Amen. We…

  • “The Lord bless and keep you!”

    “None of us knows what tomorrow holds. None of us truly knows what lies ahead or which direction our lives will take. But one thing I pray we never forget is this: we are in God’s hands. Amen. The Lord tells us in His Word, ‘I have engraved you on the palms of my hands’…

  • “Take your medicine!”

    “This morning, as my eyes opened, I couldn’t help but think: every day, we have to fight for our sanity, our joy, our peace, and our freedom. We must fight to live with love, compassion, and all the things that make life good—and great. It’s a daily decision to get up and get busy, or…

  • “Opinions!”

    “One of the biggest misconceptions many of us fall into is mistaking opinions for truth. In today’s world, we’ve almost normalized giving everyone a platform to speak — whether they’ve been asked to or not. But here’s the issue with that: words are powerful. When we hear something spoken over us, even casually, we can…

  • “The Goal!”

    “This has always been said, and that is this: God is not going to do for you what you can do for yourself. Amen. In other words, faith without works is dead. We simply can’t pray and ask God to fix everything, yet fail to put our hands to the plow, so to speak. It…

  • “17th Anniversary!”

    Today is a very special day for me. Seventeen years ago, my family and I were in Kentucky on our way to visit my mom for her birthday. We had spent the night there, and during that time, the Lord began dealing with my heart about starting a devotional. Now, I’ve never been one for…

  • “Leave it there!”

    I’m not sure if I’m the only one, but as for me… I’ve always had loads of questions—so many ‘whys’ and ‘how comes.’ I’ve pretty much been this way my whole life. I want to know the answers. I want to know how to do something, how to get it done, how to accomplish it—and…
