I won’t say this is new since there’s nothing new under the sun. In fact, with it being over half a century old, I’m sure this has been said before. But with the rise of everyone finding everything wrong with everything, I’d like to take a moment to look at what’s right. Over the past […]
I was listening to the radio the other day, flipping through the channels and I paused for a moment on a call-in show. The woman talking to the host asked him what she could do about something going on in the national spotlight. After the host said that there was basically nothing to do, the […]
I continually hear the theme about God moving mountains for people in music. The only problem is the Bible never talks about God moving mountains for us. It talks about us moving them.

I live in Oklahoma just right outside of Tulsa. When I think of how long it takes for me to get to church or to work or into Tulsa, I always have this set amount of minutes. That’s because I’ve done it so much I know how long it takes, with or without traffic. I […]
When I was a kid, I would play volleyball with my neighbor’s grandkids. My neighbor was an elderly woman and every now and then her grandkids would come over and we would play volleyball across the fence. The fence that separated our yards was the kind with the jagged spikes on the top. I’m not […]
Back in September, actor George Clooney published a short “prayer” in The Daily Beast. The prayer reads as follows: I pray that we can find more that unites us than divides us. I pray that our nation’s leaders want to do the same. I pray that young children like Tamir Rice can feel safe in […]
