Happy New Year!
It’s a good time to look back at our new year’s resolutions and take stock in our lives. So, what’s your resolution? Are you any good at keeping them?

My Favorite Halloween Memory
My favorite Halloween memory is from many years ago. It was my son’s second Halloween—the first where he actually got to go trick or treating. He was so cute dressed in his Tigger costume, and he was so proud for wearing it. That evening, I finished cooking supper and then we hit the streets. HeContinue reading “My Favorite Halloween Memory”

The Hits Just Keep on Comin’
Most people might agree that 2020 has been a pretty bad year. On a personal level, my family was doing okay until about halfway through, but unfortunately, when the hits came, they just progressively got worse. We can’t wait till 2020 ends, but what on earth will the new year bring? Will Covid magically goContinue reading “The Hits Just Keep on Comin’”
The Ultimate Sacrifice My Bible Blog: Genesis 22
What would you give up for God? Would you give up your favorite sin? Would you give up your family? Would you even give up Sundays? Most of us are too weak to give up any of these, even Sundays. There once came a day when God asked Abraham to give up the most preciousContinue reading “The Ultimate Sacrifice My Bible Blog: Genesis 22”

Forgiveness
But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. Matthew 6:15 Forgiveness is a hard choice, but a choice it still is. When people hurt us, we can either forgive them and move on, or we can let the hurt take over our hearts. Do they deserve ourContinue reading “Forgiveness”

My Bible Blog: Genesis 21:22-34
While Hagar and Ishmael were wandering in the wilderness of Beersheba, Abraham and King Abimelech were having their own squabbles. Apparently, unbeknownst to him, Abimelech’s men had seized Abraham’s well. They worked out their differences, however, and made a covenant with each other at Beersheeba.

God finally fulfilled a long-awaited promise to Sarah. The promise of a child. In their old age, she conceived and bore Abraham a son, in God’s own appointed time.

We’ve heard it said that history repeats itself. Well, only twenty chapters into the first book of the bible, Abraham is already repeating his mistakes.

Peace that Surpasses All Understanding
Well, it’s time for me to put my money (or lack thereof) where my mouth is. I talk about faith all the time. I say, “Don’t worry, just pray.” I say this because it works, and I have had to put it to the test more times than I can count. The past two decadesContinue reading “Peace that Surpasses All Understanding”
