Eyes That Don’t Lie
Thankfulness, pride, envy, joy. Compassion, judgmental, self-righteous, forgiving. Loving, lustful, dismissive, patient. Shame, passion, regret, hope. Life, depression, contentment, death. What do these have in common? They are all largely a result of our perspective. Nothing steers a life more than perspective. The media wants to shape it, Hollywood plots for it, political movements pay…Read more »
Love & Lies (Part 4 of 4)
Lies are an attempt to steal the truth from us. And if its Truth that leads to freedom (John 8:32) then we can draw the conclusion that lies aim to steal our freedom. One of my favorite verses is found in Romans 8:31 & 32 and reads as a set of powerful rhetorical questions. What shall…Read more »
Love & Lies (Pt 3 of 4)
I remember thinking, “when I get my license, everything will be better.” At 16 I couldn’t wait to drive fast with the windows down, music blasting and a mean side lean! Don’t get me wrong, it was definitely fun for a while. But after experiencing the cost of gas, maintenance, and a few speeding tickets, the…Read more »

Lies & Love (Pt 1 of 4)

In the 1950’s and 60’s the divorce…Read more »
Lonely Or just Alone? ( and 3 ways to embrace being single)
I wish we had a holiday that celebrated singles. Especially the people who are waiting without compromising, and resisting social pressures to be in something they aren’t ready for. Talk about impressive. I’ve learned that loneliness can be a great motivator or great manipulator, and is responsible for most relationship blunders. If left unchecked, loneliness…Read more »
5 Things I’m Picking up in 2018
OK, so last week we took out the trash! Or at leastwe’ve identified habits that need to go as we step into 2018. My prayer is that when we look back on this year, we are grateful for the progress we made and steps we took. But like I mentioned last week, it’s going to…Read more »
5 Things I’m Throwing Away in 2018
Happy New Year! I love the new year, and the sense of hope and opportunity that comes with it. As the year turns over, I hear many talk of a “blank slate” or a fresh start to close a chapter, chase dreams or begin again! While I’ve shared these same sentiments year after year, I’ve…Read more »
Perspective’s Power
Today a war is waging for our heart, and much of the fight is happening right between you ears. Everyday, we take in information and images that we process and attempt to understand. From negative news, to fake news, to real life horror stories, life sometimes can be tough to take.
