Have you ever driven to work or school or some other frequented location so often that you find yourself going there out of habit when you weren’t supposed to or didn’t have to? I definitely have! It’s a habit, something we have done so often that it becomes natural to the point of not really thinking about it.   Read More...

Remembering. God gives to us many and great blessings. Some of these blessings are so common that we never think about them in terms of being a blessing. One such blessing is our memory and the action of remembering.   Read More...

A pastor from Michigan called me this week about an upcoming youth gathering and noticed the area code of my phone number was the same as his wife’s family. Turns out we are from the same small city and went to the same schools growing up. Crazy right!?   Read More...
