I live on a farm; few things bring me greater joy than freshly born animals. The miracle of creation front and center. I can spend hours watching the birth of a lamb, the doting attention of its mother, its first steps, and wobbly attempts to explore this new world. Or newly minted piglets playing with…
When I was six, someone told me something negative about myself, I still challenge that thought to this day decades later. In middle school, someone told me my “worth” I believed it and acted as if it was the truth. That did not stop me from creating victims, yielding the tongue as a weapon at…
February 20th was the anniversary of Kathryn Kuhlman’s death; I wish I could have met her. She had great respect for the Holy Spirit, a powerful ministry, and displayed the imperfections of the human condition. She was a devoted servant. Kathryn impacted the lives of countless individuals who attended her services and continues to transform…

As I was walking by a large poplar tree in my yard, I noticed the base and root system, I heard the phrase in my mind, deep roots move earth, several times and I saw for the first time the displaced earth pushed up by the vast root system of this single poplar tree. There…
There have been seasons when I have heard your message God but was unable to apply it for the pull of sin in my life was too great. Those seeds were gobbled up and never planted for your glory. I am sorry. I have had seasons when I was filled with joy and passion on…
Patience has never been a strong quality in me, and that has been compounded by a society of instant gratification one need only look to Amazon Prime and one-day shipping for a profound example. I was reading in Psalms 78, about God’s kindness (and patience) with Israel as they rebelled. God worked miracles for an…
