A Light in the Dark

Encouragement, Relationships, Tim's WritingsNovember 1, 20141KViews 0Likes 0Comments

I have been blessed in the majority of my professional career to be employed in places that have been started by and operated by individuals who love Jesus and have based their businesses to operate on Godly practices. That being said, there was one place that I worked that wasn’t like that. I once held…

Navigating the Rapids

Encouragement, Listening, Prayer, Solitude, Tim's WritingsSeptember 1, 20143KViews 0Likes 0Comments

One of my hands-down favorite places in this great area is Falls Park. I could spend all day there walking and climbing among the rocks and crevices. We were able to visit there again this past Labor Day weekend. In times past when we have visited there wasn’t always a lot of water going over…

Unending Comfort

Hardship, Relationships, Tim's WritingsAugust 1, 20142KViews 0Likes 0Comments

I have been blessed to not have to deal with a lot of death of people close to me. Besides my grandfather passing away in 1994 and a dear friend about 15 years ago, death has, for the most part, kept its distance. My father has a genetic heart disease that has the words cardiac,…

This is a season to thrive! That is what we believe! We were made to thrive, not just survive! That is from the Casting Crowns new CD called Thrive. I hope and pray for all of us that this next season is a time of new growth and obedience. I…

Muddy Shoes

Growth, Tim's WritingsMay 1, 20144KViews 2Likes 0Comments

As I looked down at my shoes this morning, I noticed the mud that was caked on them. I grabbed another pair. Mud. Pretty much all of my shoes have a bit of mud on them right now. They’re muddy because I’ve been walking through my backyard quite a bit lately. You see, we’re in…

The Beauty of a Sunrise

Forgiveness, Tim's WritingsApril 2, 20147KViews 0Likes 0Comments

Before the sun crested the horizon this morning I sat on a cold, cement bench waiting for it’s arrival. There was light in the sky, but the brilliance of the sun itself was still hidden from my eyes. In front of me was a beautiful body of water. It was still covered in ice, but…

Spring!

Change, Cheryl's Writings, Growth, HardshipApril 1, 20142KViews 0Likes 0Comments

We are being taken from where we are, to where we want and need to be! Winter is over and the dark, cold days that labored on and on, are gone for now. We have lived long enough to know that nothing lasts forever, right? Can we see though, that it had a…

Paul and Jamie

Relationships, Tim's WritingsMarch 1, 20142KViews 0Likes 0Comments

Paul and Jamie were inseparable when they were newlyweds in 2003. When they were together cartoon birds and butterflies would be seen fluttering about. Paul would often skip lunch just so he could leave work a little earlier to be home with Jamie that much sooner. Paul and Jamie went on walks together. They laughed…

Perseverance

Perseverance, Tim's WritingsFebruary 1, 20142KViews 0Likes 0Comments

Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. (Romans 5:3-5 NIV)…

Transformed & Renewed

“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know god’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” (Romans 12:2 NLT) I grew up watching science fiction movies with my grandpa.…
