Sunday Thoughts: Look for Forever
One of the strongest words in the English language is forever. Merriam Webster defines forever as a limitless time (as in He wants to live forever) or at all times, continually. Forever is one of those words that stands in front of you defiantly and dares you to prove it wrong. It is bossy and intrusive. The…

Christmas is Not About Stuff
Thinking about the Christmas wrapping, shopping, and decorating, it hit me. All the stuff that I call traditions and all the seasonal necessities that I think we need are so not necessary. Christmas is about the family that I shop, decorate, wrap, and do the traditions for to try to please. Will my family love…

A Poem: He Walked Away
We meet eye to eye Face to face No words do we speak You reach for me Touching softly I relax in your arms My lips find yours Kissing you pleases me Freeing me from my inner torment You stroke my hair Deep within my soul, I hunger for more I cry as you release…

Sunday Thoughts: Struggling
I find myself questioning why things are not going the way I think they should or the way that seems like the best way. I need God to move in my life in a way that is specific, so I pray. I have been here before with God and I know that He always comes…

There and Back: William Porter and His Hat
William Porter, a self-proclaimed sinner cowboy from the hills of Tennessee, adjusted his black felt cowboy hat, the leather band worn by age and the constant fingering of his strong fingers. His hands not rough and calloused like a factual rancher but soft. Never the less William Porter was at heart a true cowboy. If…

Sunday Thoughts: Live to be Significant not Successful
There should be more, much more, to life than our traditional definition of success. There is a lot to be said about being successful, not all of it is bad. Having a comfortable life style is nice, sure. How we treat other people is a better way to show our success. We all want to…
