Rush The Field!
The final play has been made. The clock is still running down. The game is not technically over. Yet, what happens? Everyone starts running and jumping and cheering. Confetti machines spew bits of colored paper from every direction. A coach finds himself drenched in Gatorade. The crowd rushes the field in celebration. But the clock [...]
Take It, It’s Yours
I BELIEVE I RECEIVE! Four little words that hold SO MUCH POWER! Mark 11:23 Everything that God has made available to us, we must do the action of holding out our hands and RECEIVING it. He will never force it on us. The same way we receive God's blessings of health, peace and provision is [...]
Homeschooling Is Not About Academics, It’s About Discipleship
Homeschooling, to me, is not about academics, but about discipleship. My main goal in homeschooling my children has never been to produce college students. I do not believe in “teaching for the test” or in the meticulous “clocking of hours” of study. That would be just doing public school at home. Are there certain requirements [...]
Be a Sheep, Hang With Your Flock
"And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine, and in fellowship, and to the breaking of bread and to prayer." Acts 2:42 You cannot visit every church around town and sample the spiritual diet at another table and yet be found 'continuing in the teaching' of your pastor. Your pastor is a divine connection and [...]
He Is Our Helper
COFFEE + BIBLE = BLISS ☕❤ Hebrews 13:5b,6 "for He Himself has said, 'I will never desert you, nor will I forsake you,' so that we confidently (boldly) say, 'The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What shall men do unto me?" The Amplified Bible says, "I will not IN ANY WAY fail you, [...]
Can Kids “Be Anything They Want to Be”?
As parents, we need to be careful not to fall into the common trap of encouraging our children that they can "be anything they want or do anything they want" when they grow up. While it sounds nice to say that, it's simply not true. They will be anointed to do what God has called [...]
Flu Season? Is it Fake News?
I remember learning the different seasons of the year in kindergarten, summer, fall, winter, and spring. Growing up in New England we definitely experienced all four changing seasons although winter seemed to last 5-6 months and not the allotted three. I only began to hear of "new" seasons once I got older. Seasons called "allergy season" [...]
The Truth That You Know!
John 8:32 "and you shall KNOW the TRUTH and the TRUTH shall set you free." It's not the truth that sets you free, but the truth that you KNOW! If you're facing adversity today in any area, (debt, sickness, hopeless relationship) that may be the fact in your life, but it cannot supersede the POWER [...]
