You just never know what may happen next. The very next moment something can happen that catches you unaware. It has happened in my life, in my past, and I don't like the feeling of being unprepared. Not being prideful here, but I've always associated myself with the 5 prepared virgins in Matthew 25. “At … Continue reading I did not see that coming
I'm sure we've all had an encounter with a person like this. They know absolutely everything about everything, and are not at all bashful about sharing their advice and opinions about the situation.

I've been thinking through some stuff the last couple of years. Some difficult stuff. My dad passed away over a decade ago, and this fall my mom passed. My word of the year for 2024 is Restoration. I actually began unpacking it after my mom passed. Slowly, as the Holy Spirit brought things to remembrance, … Continue reading Repeat after me

I remember as a youngster, we would always get an assortment of mixed nuts, in the shell, for Christmas. Then have to go rooting around in the junk drawer in the kitchen for the nutcracker, My favorite was (and is) the walnuts.
