Monday Mission – A Life of Forgiveness

I have been immersed into the life of Corrie ten Boom over the last months as my church was preparing to perform “ten Boom, The Musical”.  I was brought back to a dark time in our history (WWII) when the Nazi army was taking the Jewish people captive, along with anyone that was protecting the […]

Friday Devotional – Who is God?

I recently had a discussion with a few folks regarding the reasons Jesus came to earth.  Great conversation.  In our devotions today we see that one of those reasons was to help us see “The Father.”  Jesus came to earth, according to John 1: 18, to make the Father known.  Why?  Why did He need […]

Tuesday Truth – Goals and Visions

Are you a goal setter or a visionary?  There’s times and places for both.  What’s the difference, you may ask?  Listen to what Ken Blanchard & Phil Hodges say, in their book Lead Like Jesus: “It is important to distinguish between goals and vision.  A goal is a specific event that, once achieved, becomes a […]

Monday Mission – Wait

Last week I had the opportunity to do something I had never done before…ride a ski lift.  As I rode one lift, 2000 ft. off of the ski base, there were some things that struck me:  When you ride a ski lift, there’s literally nothing you can do to change your future. You can’t speed […]

Friday Devotional – Born of God. What?

John 1: 11-13 says: “He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born […]
