Friday Devotional – The Reason For the Season

At the 9/11 memorial a few years back, we saw a video of a person looking up at the sky in horror. I could read their lips as they said, “Oh my god.” We also see this happen in movies, TV, and life when we (people) find ourselves in precarious situations. Or when we see an accident about to occur. Even folks who’s movie character does not portray Christ in any way will cry out “Oh god!”

Friday Devotional – No Worries

One of the battles I’ve had from time to time in my life is worry. Not very often, but when I have, it grips me. In my job here at Pizza Ranch, I talk to many people who struggle through this very same thing. The most recent example in my own life is when our oldest daughter and her husband moved to Indonesia.

I believe most people long for a closer and more intimate relationship with Christ from time to time. I know I do. The question is, how can we make this happen? How can we feel closer to God? Well, I believe Scripture points to a thankful heart:

Friday Devotional - Different Seasons

Have you ever felt like God changes His mind about what He is asking you to do? Back in February 2022, I led devotions and talked about how I felt that God was asking me to go into a season of rest and margin. A season of strategic yes's and more “no”s than usual.

Friday Devotional - Stages of Life

We all go through stages in life, right? Some of you are empty nesters and maybe grandparents now. Some of you, like me, are in the high school years with children and are facing the first “lasts” of senior year of high school, which can make almost any mama
