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?”
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”
“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.

“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””
“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 in here; in your heart, mind, and soul. He is waiting to embrace you with open arms when you look for him inward.
