My need for simplicity is growing. A few years ago I could have never had said that. This is a woman who keeps everything, receipts before I even did my own taxes, boxes and used tissue paper (tissue, not toilet paper!). Movie tickets so I would remember that time I watched it and with whom, [...]

During our twenty’s, life changes at an alarming pace. One day we’re sitting around with friends talking about the future, the next day we’re having to face the reality of making life decisions head on. For some of us, flipping a coin is a great way of getting out of the decision making process. For [...]

We’re all human and I think that we can agree that people get a boost of confidence when doing good for others. Serving others is something that all followers of Christ have been called to do. Jesus didn’t ask us to serve if we feel like it or to serve when we get around to [...]

Anyone who knows me knows I love Aviation and all things about the industry. It has taught me patience, that there’s nothing set in stone, and to go with the flow. The biggest thing I had to learn is probably the most important, to constantly keep myself ‘fed’. Early on I found out I could [...]

How often do we complain about not having what we need in life? We commonly find ourselves making statements like “I need…” or “If I only had…”.

I had a conversation this weekend with someone that I met for the first time. He had heard that our ministry did homeless outreach in Atlanta with an organization he helped in the past. While we were talking, he asked what drew us to that type of ministry.

As I sit here writing this blog I find myself at a crossroads. I can choose one of two reactions: bitterness or trust. My head urges me to choose bitterness, while my spirit pleads with me to continue in trust, even though I am hurt and angry. How many times have we all been in [...]

I remember the conversation with a Youth Pastor that ended with “Whatever brings them into the church!”. The intent behind the statement was probably innocent and well meaning. The statement and that idea is bothering me a lot as I look at the next generation of Christians. For many years we’ve accepted the idea that [...]

I am writing this with a heavy heart. This has been a hard week. On Tuesday, a girl I grew up with was in a car accident and died at the young age of 21. I had many sleep overs at her house and summer days swimming and hanging out. So many memories! As we [...]
