Not sure if any of you have ever picked up and moved across the United States. It is not anything I would recommend if you are faint at heart. Imagine handling every little piece, every box, every drawer, every shelf, every closet in your entire house. After touching that item you have one of four decisions:
How many times in our lives have we longed for the big billboard in the sky? There are seasons of darkness when we really need some sort of “sign.” Most of us really would prefer an actual physical sign…neon, regular billboard or perhaps even a small poster would do. How fortunate for Paul that he…
“But on the night immediately following, The Lord stood at his side and said, ‘Take courage; for as you have solemnly witnessed to My Cause at Jerusalem, so you must witness to Rome also.” Acts 23:11 I am trying to picture Paul receiving this direct order from His Lord. He had just had the day…
The most powerful Truth I encountered in 2014 was the concept of “God is before all things that touch me” taken from the verse in Colossians 1:17 that says, “He is before all things and in Him all things hold together (NIV).” Reflecting on all the “Life-stories” I’ve heard this year it is hard to…

I’ve been doing a study recently about the emotions of Jesus. Because the trauma resolution therapy I use addresses stuffed emotions, I’ve started being more aware of our emotional world and also become interested in the emotional side of our Savior. Somehow we’ve gotten into some sort of delusional thinking as Christians that we are…
There is a lot of downplaying in the Christian community I believe about the validity of emotions. “Emotions Can You Trust Them” by Dr. James Dobson is a popular book written by my former boss. The more and more that I explore the world of emotions and how they affect us, here are some truths…
Well, today is that dreaded day for so many. Valentines Day! I guess I am jaded but I see this day being so painful for so many that it almost takes the “zip” out of it for me. Especially since in my own personal life…and I am so grateful for this…everyday is Valentine’s Day. However…
