I know this sounds like a complex, metaphysical question that has little to do with real life. Nothing could be further from the truth on all accounts. Like everything in life we try to Continue reading “What is God?”

God calling me? Get real!
Yes, God is calling you. Yes, I mean you!
If you believe that God created you, why do you have a hard time believing that he is calling you? Stop reading if you don’t believe God created you—if you think that you are some simple godless biological act. I can’t even Continue reading “God calling me? Get real!”
Found your life groove?
Just a quick thought for the day…
I think we all have a life “groove.” It’s that sweet spot in life when everything feels just right. There’s no resistance in front of us—just clean air and blue sky.
If you haven’t found Continue reading “Found your life groove?”
Good Day? Bad Day?
Your answer should be “none of the above.” Today is a GREAT day!
This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
Every day is made by God, so how can any day be a bad day? In fact, how can any day be anything but Continue reading “Good Day? Bad Day?”
Being Bubba; Being Christian
It was exciting watching Bubba Watson win the Masters. The guy bucks convention left and right — has never had a golf coach, plays with a pink driver, and does goofy YouTube videos. “Being Bubba” is just throwing caution to the wind on the golf course and letting your emotions and the tears fly in public.
What I really love about “being Bubba” is Continue reading “Being Bubba; Being Christian”
What’s unclear about God’s command to love?
“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” John 15:12
Please help me out because I just don’t get it. God gave us ten commandments that can be summarized by two: LOVE him and LOVE others. In LOVE, God sacrificed his only Son for our sins. And the night before he was beaten and hung on a cross — for us! — Jesus gave us a simple commandment to LOVE.

Where is your treasure?
The simplest things that Jesus says are often the most profound…
“For where your treasure is there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:21
It’s a good question to ask ourselves on occasion — “Where is my treasure?”
“Love One Another”
As we approach the glory of Easter, we first need to pass through the horror of Jesus sacrificing his life for each one of us. Before he did so, he said something very clear and direct, leaving no room for guessing as to what he meant:
“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” John 15:12-13
Jesus expects us to love one another as he loves us. His love is unconditional and, to the extreme, sacrificial. Yet, we can’t even get close to this. Continue reading ““Love One Another””
Thought for the Day — Stop Worrying!
“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?”
Luke 12:25
Great insight from Jesus. I know that I spend way too much time worrying about tomorrow. When your focus is on tomorrow it’s tough to enjoy today.
We need to plan ahead but we can’t live in the future. I am trying to live each day as it comes by letting go and letting God take control of the future.
Plan for tomorrow but don’t worry about it. Live your life today!
READ the Bible as often as you can. There is such great insight on how to live.
Blessings and enjoy today!
God is not “up there.”
God is not “up there.” God is in here; in your heart, mind, and soul. He is waiting to embrace you with open arms when you look for him inward.
