My sister, Kelly, left this “home” on January 9, 2001. Her life was taken short from a rare disease called, “Wegener’s”. Kelly was only 25. My children …

Sometimes You Just Need To Move The Tomato Plants
My wife, Patty, loves to plant her flowers. She waters them, cares for them, prunes them, and they grow. Except last summer. Something was wrong.

Prayer Jar Project: Is It Working?
A few weeks ago, I introduced you to my “Prayer Jar Project”. A simple way for me to pray for the people who matter most in my life. After only a few short weeks, I have been AMAZED at what has happened. Every morning, when I reach into the Prayer Jar, I say a prayer …

Craziest Christmas Ever!
Hall and Oates once sang, “You Make My Dreams Come True. Ooh Ohh. Ooh Ohh.” Do dreams really come true? Dreams are weird. Sometimes, dreams feel very real. Sometimes they’re terrifying. Sometimes, they’re are just…odd. Like the time I dreamt that the only way that I could move was by swimming through the air. My …
The Waiting Is The Hardest Part
Tom Petty wasn’t kidding. He sang the song, “The Waiting Is The Hardest Part.” From waiting rooms, to call backs. Traffic jams, to being a kid on Christmas Eve. Waiting is hard. But, worth it. As we approach Christmas, I can’t help but think of the story in Luke chapter 2 about somebody who knew …
