I have a stereo system with external speakers at my office. It reminds me of a boom box from the 1990's. I have the bass set to the highest level. It has a cassette player, CD player, and a USB port.

This coming Friday I will be in court as an expert witness in a case. I have done this in the past and it is never pleasant, no matter how prepared I am. It just puts you on edge. But I'll be okay. I just finished reading Bob Goff's book Love Does and was thrilled … Continue reading Live Palms Up

You are honored and I love you. You have been chosen to know Me, … Continue reading Off to a great start!
I read this the other morning and it took my breath away. When I think of the restraint Jesus showed on the cross, I am eternally grateful. In celebrating His birth, I also celebrate His ultimate "end game" via the cross. Restoring our relationship with the Father, like it was meant to be from the … Continue reading Restraint
This is my final post for the group blogging our Advent 2025 series. This week I am focusing on praise. Because of what Jesus did in coming to earth, He deserves all our praise.
