Lessons Learned from a Sunrise
We left at 5:00am to be on the road for our vacation. I drove in the dark while the rest of the family slept. Traffic was light and the travel easy as I listened to a few podcasts and worship music. I began seeing spurts of light through the clouds and realized that although I… Continue reading Lessons Learned from a Sunrise

She could recite her alphabet before she was three and recognized all of the letters and their sounds by age four. But, at age six and in first grade, she was falling behind. I am a huge proponent… Continue reading Do You Have Blurry Vision?
Don’t Leave Home Without It!
Today, I was feeling a bit down. There are certain areas of my life that I struggle with in finding the Lord and His peace. I try not to ask the question “Why?” but it just slips out sometimes. As I was praying through this, I heard “put on your garment of praise.” My mind… Continue reading Don’t Leave Home Without It!
