You’ve got what it takes, but it will take everything that you’ve got. Have you ever wondered, “Do I have what it takes to do this job, to be a great spouse, to be a great parent, to be a faithful follower of Christ?” I’m sure you’ve wondered, if you […]
Christ! No more, no less.

Let it Go!
Let it Go. This is the word of the day. Simply, let it go. I remember reading this illustration and could recall a few times when it happened with my own kids. Imagine, a two to three year old little boy in a Play Place/Playscape (like McDonald’s) where the bottom pit is […]
