What is in a word?  Letters arranged in a format to help us understand what the person speaking or writing is trying to say.  A simple concept, yet it is complex. A word from a friend can be uplifting, a word from a loved one you have not heard from for a long time can…

I really love my car.  I try to take care of it, sometimes it gets a little dirty on the inside and I must stop and take a minute to clean the garbage out and wipe the dust off the dash. It is much easier to do if I do this a little every day…

A few weeks ago, I woke up and  heard, “Listen like Ezekiel.”  I thought to myself, “Wow…..it’s not even 6am Lord, my eyes may be open but my  brain is still asleep.”  My next thought was, “Wait…..wasn’t that the guy with the visions who saw the wheel? What does that have to do with listening?” …

One time the…

The kids and I love to drink smoothies. We blend up frozen berries with almond milk or yogurt and honey.  Doesn’t matter if there is a blizzard outside or it’s twenty below zero, we will still be in the kitchen blending up the sweet goodness of a smoothie.  My favorite smoothie is what I call…

We have all heard the story of the woman at the well.  A Samaritan woman was at the well minding her own business gathering water.  Jesus approached her and asked her for a drink.  She scoffed back about how a Jewish man could ask a Samaritan woman for a drink because at the time Jewish…
