Cars are the Necessary Evil
Cars are one of those necessary evils! If only cars drove perfectly all the time! I used to change my own oil but I had a minivan then! That was also eight years or so ago! I could go right under the van. I have also forgotten how to do it. Regardless, there is no […]

Sunday Night Summer Reflections
He said, “Part of the grace on your life is who you were not born as. No matter how bad it is, it could always be worse.” I watch people. I examine myself. How often does that haughtiness come out? You know the one. The one where you think to yourself, “I’d never do that.” […]

Ugly Fruit!
The word says you will know them by their fruit. You will know who is of God by their fruit. The only way to know if someone is probably “saved” is to get to know them. There is another question that comes. How close do you have to get to know who a person is? […]

Baili
She has brown hair and the most infectious smile. Her energy never ends. Baili. Her love language (I encourage you to read 5 Love Languages) is quality time. If she doesn’t get that quality time, her little heart breaks. She says, “I love you” when she gets played with. Her eyes light up, her heart […]

Full of Nothing
I like to think about how what we feed ourselves matters. Have you ever eaten so much junk food and still found that you were starving? You are so full that you really can’t eat any more. The stomach still churns. The body is still fatigued. There is no strength. The junk is in the […]

Peace in Grief
This trip across America, I’d put it in my top three best decision’s list if I had a list. My main prayer in the past year has been, “Lord help me with my faith. Give me faith again. Give me faith. Give me faith.” I am not sure if faith is exactly what I was […]

Jesus Lives?
I was on my way to Bethel church, drove through a forest and around mountains in the pouring rain-I sure am glad my dad told me how to tap breaks before I left because I am definitely a tapper! It was all good until the sign read, “Rock slide area.” “Well great, Grace drives across […]

Eleven Hours
I have friends who are real travelers. They look at everything. They savor it. They take it in. They meet the people and eat the food. Not me. At least not this round. I’m on a mission. That mission is to drive! I stopped at the International House of Prayer in Missouri. I like to […]

True isn’t Truth.
People are a reflection of ourselves. Suspend judgment. Sit. Watch, Pay attention. I feel projection come. I look at her and think wretched things.” A whole list. I sit back. I suspend judgment. As I sit the “aha” moment happens. “Oh, I am not upset by you. You are not the cause of any issue. […]
