I've been watching this docu-series online about broken brains over the past week and it has been both insightful and a bit worrisome.

Greater Things
I tell you the truth: whoever believes in Me will be able to do what I have done, but they will do even greater things, because I will return to be with the Father. VOICE A promise? An opportunity? A possibility? A dormant potential? A hope? A dream? An end to be fulfilled? My gift …
I’m Okay, I’m Not Okay
Back in the day a popular concept was recognizing we were just who we were and that was okay. We were all about being real. The problem with that thinking, at least for me, is that I don't feel okay, in fact most of the time I feel not okay. I am my toughest critic, …

Peaceful, Cheerful, and Kind
Peaceful, cheerful, and kind; what do these three words have in common? They are feel good words, words that even just saying them make you smile. Go ahead and say them out loud. How did they make you feel? Now let's add a few more words to them: a peaceful heart, a cheerful look, and …
I Am Amazing! And So Are You!
This week I was about to begin with my list of seven scriptures for the week that I had prepared, but something didn't feel right. So I went back to the drawing board and looked up some of my starred scriptures. I was immediately drawn to this one: Psalm 139:13-14 You made all the delicate, …
Comfort – Does God Really Care?
Have you ever asked, "Does God really care about what I'm going through?" Maybe you know the answer in your head, but your heart is still hurting. This week, I believe I'm supposed to write about comfort and I'll take a look at what The Bible tells us about God's desire to comfort us in …
