What if you woke up today with only the things you thanked God for yesterday? That’s a great question and a great thought. But what if it were true? What kind of things would you have in your life today? You get to choose by the way you give thanks. […]
Let’s Laugh!
Laughter is the word of the day. Proverbs 17:22 says, “A merry heart does good, like a medicine.” What does that mean? It means that laughter is good for you. Paul McGhee, Ph.D. said, “Your sense of humor is one of the most powerful tools you have to make […]
Extra Oil!
Have you ever just felt burned out? Maybe you feel as if you have nothing left to give. Perhaps you have exhausted all of your energy, your emotional resources and your spiritual strength. This can happen at work, in relationships, and even in church. Every now and then someone will […]
“But I want to be the bad guy!”
We were at the house on a Sunday afternoon, watching the Cowboys game, (which they lost) when my grandson Kanon, came running in dressed in a Pirate’s Costume. Starla had purchased several costumes for the grandkids to dress up in when they are over at our house. Kanon’s Daddy, Kolt, […]

Mine!
I was watching two of my grandkids the other day. One grandson from one of my children, and one granddaughter from another. Cousins. It was amazing to me how when they first saw each other, they screamed in excitement. They yelled each other’s names. They ran toward each other, as […]
Smile a While!
Smile is the word of the day. When I was about fifteen I had to have a tooth removed to allow another tooth room to come in. The bottom line was I had a big gap in my teeth. I didn’t look quite like a hockey player, but I […]
I choose to FORGIVE!
It was just a little lovers quarrel between two neighbors, David and Rachel. Then every week after that for forty-two years, he wrote her a love letter, asking her to forgive him, and every week she promptly burned the letter. Her heart was stoic and unforgiving. Finally, he summoned the courage to […]
