Our backyard was supposed to be mowed weeks ago. And I'm so glad it hasn't been. Not because I love knee-high grass or dandelions as far as the eye can see. Although it is kind of nice. Rather, it is the never-ending stream of small little sparrows that find their way to the field of… Continue reading A Moment of Purity

I admit that I'm guilty. I often attach my happiness and well-being to things other than the Lord. And I know I'm not the only one. It can be hard. Especially when the sun is shining and the day is going my way. Everything seems perfect. But then I wonder why I start to feel… Continue reading A Moment of Joy

It was a tough decision to come here, but it has been worth every bit of hardship. In the midst of… Continue reading A Moment of Gratitude

I was heading out of the laundry room at the lodge where I work. When I saw it. Ambulances. Fire Department vehicles. Flashing lights. I walked up to an EMT and asked what was going on.

Every Saturday a small group of us meet in a little house of prayer to fellowship and pray. Today was no different. As I drove to the meeting, I asked the Lord to use me however He saw fit. You see, I never think of myself as a particularly grand prayer and I often question… Continue reading A Moment of Community
