Thankful Always
Thanksgiving has come and gone. You probably participated in a round robin of thankfulness at the dinner table or maybe set aside special time for reflection. The holiday itself may be over, but I hope you’re still feeling thankful. Psalm 92:1 says it is good to praise the Lord. It doesn’t say it’s a convenient…

Food For Thought
Have you ever had to give yourself a pep talk before going somewhere? Maybe it was a new place you’ve never been and didn’t know what to expect or a place you’re familiar with but felt people shy. The commonality between these two scenarios is that you need a boost or a gentle push of…

Bear-y Thankful
As you may know, Starbucks released a viral Bearista glass cup. There were only about 8,000 nationwide, which resulted in stores getting as few as two cups total. I’ve seen several posts with comments from people saying they had to do “ungodly things” to get the cup. That could mean fighting, cursing, scheming, cutting in…

Life’s Playlist
I love to read and so far this year I’ve read 42 books! The title of my last read was The Happy Ever After Playlist by Abby Jimenez. Besides loving just about each one of her books because of her writing style, this book in particular stood out because as the characters were moving through…

Get Uncomfortable
People want comfort. Comfortable clothes. Comfortable conversations. Comfortable social environments. Even when it comes to preaching or talking about scriptures, most people want that to be comfortable too. A well known comfort scripture is John 3:16. It’s beautiful, true, a foundation verse of faith and makes for an amazing sermon. If you continue to read down…

There’s a Difference
Take a look at the following verses from Nehemiah: all the people came together as one in the square before the Water Gate. They told Ezra the teacher of the Law to bring out the Book of the Law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded for Israel. (Nehemiah 8:1) He read it aloud from…

Kudos to You
At my company we have the concept of Kudos, which is an opportunity to show gratitude or give a shout out to your peers for exceptional work, being helpful, etc. Kudos can fall into 5 different categories and the categories I consistently receive recognition for are “Do what you say” and “We before me”. I’ve…
