I’m not sure what the hype was with the end of the world coming in 2012. The “end of the world” has come in my lifetime at least 7 times already. And yet I’m still here. Why? Well, that’s still a mystery to me. 😉 Although you may think I’m joking, this is 100% true. […] Read more…

Giving God 99% of Me
Sometime I wonder… If you take away the bumper sticker on your car that says “Jesus Loves you”, if you take away the t-shirt you are wearing with a catchy Christian phrase on it, if you take away the cross hanging around your neck… would people see Jesus in you?

A Woman After God’s Own Heart
I’ve been intimidated by this woman since the first moment I read about her. She’s the woman who has it all together. The woman who rises early to prepare for the day. The woman who always reaches out to help the people around her who are in need. The woman who takes care of her […] Read more…

Lessons on Leadership
Exactly ten years ago my teen coordinator from my (old) church asked me to get involved with leading teens at church.
