Stop Comparing
Someone smiles with perfect, white, straight teeth. They are posing for a picture with their friends who seem to be having a good time. The background is of a spectacular view. Perhaps out of town. Something within you churns. Why aren’t you there? Why are they having such a good time without you? Jealousy. Envy. …
Write the Letter
I was blessed to have a pen-pal from my childhood. Probably around 6th grade I started writing to my new friend in Alabama. We were paired off as pen-pals after being a part of The Sandi Patti Friendship Company. My pen-pal, Tressa, and I share the same birthdays and faith. It was a match made…
“Layers of Beauty”
Psalm 13 reads as follows: 1 How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? 2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? 3 Look on…
Connection Circles
I have noticed a greater need for Christians to talk about their faith with one another.

A Mother’s Reflection
Does a son learn from his mother? Yes. Does a mother learn from her son? Most definitely. Our family is rejoicing over the news of my son Michael’s position as Valedictorian. His weighted GPA is 103.79 and he is ranked #1 out of 447 students. I say this to exalt the Name of Christ. The…

The other day my son Daniel came to me with a funny problem while he was cleaning up his room. He came across a lock but realized he forgot the combination. How would he ever open it? He tried whatever numbers he could think of. I then gave him a few of my own. …
How Big Is Your Bowl?
I had taken my plastic bowl to the backyard to pick whatever I could find growing from the garden. I was sure to find some blackberries and tomatoes at least. They have been coming in for a while now. But as I picked and picked the fresh produce, I realized I should have brought out…
Fix Your Eyes On Jesus
‘Tis the season for getting married, right? Some very dear people in my life have gotten married recently. Oh the beauty, the music, the pictures and videos of lovely dresses, perfect tuxedos, and the joy that is felt on such a special day! But nothing is more endearing than the look that the bride and…
