Dreaming Sometimes I have a dream right before I wake up and I know it is from the Lord. Now, I’m not one of those people who think every dream should be analyzed and dissected for meaning. If that was the case, I’d spend a good portion of my time pondering the meaning of polar …
Have you ever read a really great book and cried when you got to the end? Not because the book was sad, but because you were sad that it was over. I’ve had this happen a time or two in my life. My first favorite book series, The Lord of the Rings, and also The …
Sunny Sanibel When I was young, my family went to Sanibel Island, FL every year. I was the epitome of a beach bum. I loved the beach, the water, the sounds. I even relished the bit of gritty sand in my teeth as I ate salty potato chips and drank Pepsi in the hot sun …
Who’s worried!? 😳 Not me! 😬 During my last blog I was taking highway on and off ramps to delay a hard decision, even while Jesus clearly indicated “the way” forward.

Even if you haven’t, I’ll bet you can imagine that it’s very difficult to stand up straight or walk without stumbling, not to mention the sick feeling in your stomach unless you’re …
