Around this time last year, our family took a trip to the beach. We had a really fun and relaxing trip with some friends. Our last morning there, I took a walk to the shore by myself to enjoy the sunrise and take some pictures. As I was walking back to the beach house, I… Continue reading Perfect?

Love Like Jesus
Looking through my Facebook memories today, this popped up that I had shared a couple of years ago. I thought it would be good to share here. “All I’ve ever wanted is to love like Jesus. I just want to be there for people. To help people. Even people that hate me, I would help… Continue reading Love Like Jesus
James – pt. 8
I tackled a little bit bigger chunk than normal today, doing the first 13 verses of chapter 2, but it all ties together. We should treat all people with love, grace, mercy. WE CANNOT discriminate based on finances, looks, gender, lifestyle, heritage, whatever. We are to love all, and base our judgment, for lack of… Continue reading James – pt. 8
James – pt. 5
James 1:19 tells us we should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. So many lessons done on this verse! And so many people still can’t figure it out. So many people don’t listen. We only give the other person an allotted time to speak, all the while not taking… Continue reading James – pt. 5

Have you ever been pulled into a feud you wanted no part of? Maybe two friends, coworkers, acquaintances got into it and they each want you to take their side. To turn you against the other one. And it makes you sad because you love them both, and how can you choose between the two.… Continue reading Jesus Knows How You Feel
Prayer Share
Trouble comes in life. In so many forms. On a personal level, and on a global level. Much of it comes from a lack of clear communication – sometimes on the part of the speaker, and sometimes on the part of the listener. And sometimes both. Much of it comes from a failure to really… Continue reading Prayer Share
Bondfire: The Origin Story
After my post this morning, I thought maybe I should share where I got the idea for “bondfire”. My kids love sidewalk chalk. and they love to draw pictures and label things. One day, about a year ago, I noticed this on the barn apron: And a poem was born. My sweet younguns figured it… Continue reading Bondfire: The Origin Story
Bondfire
If you know me, you know I love: 1) sitting around a campfire; 2) staying up late; 3) good conversation. Which is why I love our barn so much. We have people over fairly regularly, most weeks on Sunday evenings for fun, food, and fellowship, but there is rarely a week that goes by that… Continue reading Bondfire
Come – Join My Table
One of the things we do during our Sunday service is before the Lord’s supper, there is a slide presented with a scripture and a question for thought. Today’s scripture was Hebrews 1:3 & 8. The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God… But to the Son He says, “Your… Continue reading Come – Join My Table
