  • Psalm 8: How Great Thou Art!

    Psalm 8: How Great Thou Art!

    Every night before going to bed, I go out and observe the stars. I know each tiny speckle is something on a much larger scale trillions of miles away, and it compels me to consider how small I am in this universe. We’ve had clear skies here lately, so there has been plenty of stargazing.…

  • Psalm 7: Great Judgement Morning

    Psalm 7: Great Judgement Morning

    I don’t like watching the news. One of the perks of living in a small, rural town is that it’s easier to detach from the outside world. I do this for my sanity. There is such a thing as being TOO aware of the realities in this dark and evil world. The other night, my…

  • Psalm 6: Hallelujah For Every Broken Heart

    Psalm 6: Hallelujah For Every Broken Heart

    It was Friday at dusk when I went out to feed our 30-year-old horse, Amos. He was waiting a short distance away from his trough as I walked to the barn to get his food. He knows the routine. All the other animals were getting settled in before the sun had completely set. The fields…

  • Psalm 5: Lift Your Head Up

    Psalm 5: Lift Your Head Up

    One of my favorite flowers is the sunflower. We spent some time in Italy this summer, and as we went through the countryside of Tuscany, there was a field of newly bloomed sunflowers standing tall with their vibrant, yellow faces turned towards the sun. I apologize for the lack of quality in these pictures. Even…

  • Psalm 4: My Worth Is Not In What I Own

    Psalm 4: My Worth Is Not In What I Own

    There are many who say, “Who will show us some good? Lift up the light of your face upon us, O LORD!”; You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound. Psalm 4:6-7 Adjusting to a single income lifestyle is ongoing. It’s not just a financial adjustment,…

  • Psalm 3: Finding Comfort and Rest in God as Our Refuge

    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…

  • The True REBELS of the World: A Christian Perspective (Psalm 2)

    The True REBELS of the World: A Christian Perspective (Psalm 2)

    We live in a world that has become weakened by rebellion. Moral values have become subjective and religion, especially Christianity, has been deemed “evil”. People proclaim that God doesn’t exist, yet they curse His name, ironically. People fight against followers of Christ in the name tolerance, ironically. This goes beyond atheism. This is anti-theism. The…
