Today’s word is sacrifice. Recently, my oldest son Kolt, was watching a dinosaur movie with his two sons Kanon (4) and Maverick (2). In the movie the family of Dinosaurs were being threatened by a fire. The Daddy Dinosaur came back to save his family only to find that […]
It Is Finished!
I was in the flower beds this morning pulling weeds. Can I tell you how much I hate weeds?But all the family are coming to my house Sunday for Easter lunch. So I have to make sure everything looks as nice as I possibly can. We will try to squeeze […]
Fruit of the Spirit
How can I live out the fruit of the Spirit in my daily walk? How can I demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit today? Galatians 5:22-23 says, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control.” Here’s what it looks like today.

Find Your Voice!

Be Together!
Starla and I were having dinner with our entire family the other night. All fourteen of us. (With two more on the way) This is no small task, when we take over a restaurant. Many tables are joined together. We pretty much use all of the high chairs, kids menu’s […]
