I come ‘round the last curve in the road. A smile grows on my face as contentment grows in my soul. If I wasn’t sure before, I’m now convinced that this impromptu detour down “J-Hill” road was a great idea. I can’t wait to get down the drive and park the car, quick turning off… Continue reading Vacations are for Detours

“Don’t Leave Messiah in the Manger”
I wrote this song a couple year ago to sing at Christmas time in my church back home. It’s easy I think, even as Christians, to choose to do exactly what the title of this song tells us NOT to do… to leave Jesus in the manger. Christmas comes and we get excited about… Continue reading “Don’t Leave Messiah in the Manger”
One Thing
You probably know the story pretty well. Jesus shows up to his friends’ house for a visit. Martha runs off and begins preparing the meal in the kitchen. Mary goes and listens to Jesus. Martha gets mad, and starts complaining to Jesus. Instead of agreeing, Jesus says, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about… Continue reading One Thing
Unable To Count That High
The leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and more fills the fridge. Pies and cookies line the buffet table ready to be eaten as soon as our stomachs can hold another bit of food. Bodies of friends lay asleep in the living room buried under blankets, pillows, and other remnants of last night’s sleepover. … Continue reading Unable To Count That High
Crossroads CONNECT – Fighting Satan’s Lies

Hope {Day 19} – Made New
I’ve heard the stories again and again. Each one so distinct and unique, yet, so similar at the core. Something happened- Many things maybe. Something so horrifying it rarely, if ever, gets any attention in conversation. Yet, it gets all the attention in the heart. Neglect. Rape. Abuse. The death of a loved… Continue reading Hope {Day 19} – Made New
