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 were inseparable when they were newlyweds in 2003. When they were together cartoon birds and butterflies would be seen fluttering about.

Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.

No driver wins a NASCAR race on their own. To accomplish great things we all need others and a supporting cast to help us succeed and reach our goals. In NASCAR there is an army of individuals who work together to accomplish their one goal. There’s the crew chief, engine specialist, tire specialist, the…

A couple of days ago I was listening to the Book of Matthew on CD while driving around town. My attention wasn’t completely on what I was listening to. I could hear what was being read from God’s Word, but I wasn’t entirely focusing on it. All of a sudden, these words were as…

I’ll start this by saying I love spending time with my bride and our kids. I love time playing games with them. Whether it be a thoughtful game of BananaGrams, a feisty game of Dutch Blitz or a bruising game of Spoons; I love playing with them. In the summer we try to play…
