Digital Deception vs. Divine Promises (Psalm 12)
There are a lot of things in life I question. The world of technology spins fast, and it seems AI has created more questions than answers. Lifelike images, voices replicated, and deepfakes make me wonder if I can even trust what I see and hear. I saw a video the other day of a baby…

Psalm 3: Finding Comfort and Rest in God as Our Refuge
Anyone who has spent the slightest amount of time in the south knows what it’s like to step outside and wonder if lungs are capable of growing mildew. At the time of writing this, our city ranks at number one as the most humid city in the United States. With air temperatures reaching 95+ degrees…

Psalm 1: Bind My Wandering Heart to Thee
I could feel the RV shifting as the strong winds whipped around it. I look out the window on one side and see one of my empty Bonnie Plant cups rolling around in the garden. I look out the other side where my foldable rocking chair was knocked over to its side. Whatever didn’t have…

Springtime: Fighting the Weeds
Raised beds and I are match made in heaven. I’ve been building them because I absolutely hate weeding. To go through the slow process of picking out weeds throughout the garden only for more to come through a couple of days is too frustrating for me to keep up with. God cursed us with a…

All of Creation
Peering over a gate with a clear view of the field behind the barn, I watched as the calves and their mommas return after feeding on ryegrass for the past two hours. And then they started to play. Head to head, several of them wrestled and ran together. I hadn’t seen them in this good…

Mamas (Ruth 1:6-14
I love my mom and dad. I went from living with them up until I was married, and even then we never lived more than a mile apart from each other. Now I live more than 150 miles away, which isn’t too bad all things considering, but still. Not to mention my mom and I…

Precious Lord, Take My Hand
I was standing in the dining room, looking out the back window at our beautiful backyard. The pool sparkled blue and white as the sun reflected off of the rippling water. And in the corner of the yard, there’s a plush green garden. I remembered how I had wanted to put a bird bath there.…

You Have Been Weighed…
One of my favorite movies is A Knight’s Tale with Heath Ledger. There’s a line that’s repeated a couple of times: “You have been weighed. You have been measured. And you have been found wanting.” Romans 3:23 gives us a similar message. “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Paul…

Why We Needed a Savior (Genesis 3:1-6)
Eve walks blithely through the Garden of Eden, savoring every portion of God’s creation. Life is more than just good. It is perfection. No shame, no anxiety, and walks with God daily. The warmth, the joy. This was supposed to be our natural habitat. This was God’s plan for us. But the serpent, the thief…

What Child is This?
Who would’ve thought that the birth of one little baby would change the world forever? The world needed a Savior. God had sent Moses to save His people and lead them out of Egypt. God would send another to save His people and lead them to eternal life in His kingdom. In Deuteronomy 18:15, Moses…
