Going Through The Motions
Have you ever had a time that you felt that you were in a rut? Hit that point where you feel that you are doing everything that you can, but your just not getting anywhere, or like your life is just on autopilot; moving along without any real input from you? I have; I think we all do at times. I know that I have hit that spot a number of times over the years; in my personal life, in my professional life, and in my spiritual life. Continue reading
Independence Day
The freedoms granted to us by the constitution are all-encompassing and lay the foundation for the great nation in which we live, but there is an even greater freedom that many people don’t know. I’m talking about the freedom the comes from Christ. John 8:36 states it plainly by saying “So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free”. It is only through Christ that we can know true freedom; a freedom that even an individual living in the most oppressed country can know. The freedom that comes from Christ is a freedom from uncertainty, freedom from fear, freedom from sin, freedom from death. It is only through a personal relationship with Christ that we can find the true peace and happiness that comes from this freedom.

In A Fog
I headed out the door, looking for the sun starting to peak over the mountains. It was nowhere to be seen. Had the sun deserted us; heading for a planet where its rays could shine through, unfiltered by Earth’s pollution? Nope, the sun was there, doing it’s thing, shining it’s light with all of the brilliance it normally has. I couldn’t see it though, not through any fault of the sun but because of me, or rather where I was; I was in a bank of fog. Continue reading

The Moments
6:30 Monday morning, I’m here hiding in my bed. A song plays on my alarm clock, as I cover up my head. And somewhere in the distance, I remember yesterday; Singing “Hallelujah”, full of wonder, awe and grace. But now … Continue reading
