Are You Happy?
When a conversation is taking place regarding marriage the question usually pops up, “are you happy?”How we answer the question will determine the direction the conversation flows. Being happy with our mate is important! I will readily admit I have only been married for 15 1/2 years. I even refer to myself as a novice …
Marriage
Marriage is for those who love God and each other . We are all familiar with varying “statistics” regarding marriage & divorce rates. However, I love to talk with couples who have been married for 40, 50, and 60 plus years. I marvel at the longevity of their relationships. I have learned from listening to …
Living
Most days, “living” is a challenge. We have many responsibilities & challenges that compete with our relationship with God. We are raising a generation that has no real religious concern or eternal focus. As a society, our current generation continues to drift from the Creator! The world around us seems put us in survival mode …
Facing Today
Suffering, challenges, and despair seem to always be close by. Given all of these challenges, how can we face today? We can face today because of what the Psalmist tells us in Psalm 9:9-10, “The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in …

I watched friends & family file in the funeral home to offer my aunt’s children, grand- children, and …
Will you be back?
“Will you be back?” was the question I was asked at least once a week on Saturday mornings in 2012. That year I was given the opportunity to volunteer at the Barren County Detention Center and teach classes to individuals who were incarcerated. Originally, I set up a pro- gram to test a social/emotional intervention …
No “I” in TEAM
Paul tells Christians in Ephesians 4:15 Jesus Christ is the Standard, the Head, the One we should emulate! Christians should always remember our example demonstrates our commitment to Christ. As we work and labor to expand the borders of God’s Kingdom, we sometimes become weary, frustrated, and discontented. Paul states we are to grow up …
Finding Time
We are blessed to have 168 hours in a week. We know during that span of time many jobs, chores, and hurdles require our attention. We know that Matthew 6:33 tells us to “seek first the kingdom of God.” We know the benefit of studying God’s word and how we are strengthened spiritually & emotionally …
Freedom
Grilling out, spending time with friends & family, and watching fireworks is how most of us will spend this weekend as we celebrate Independence Day as a nation. We know with independence comes freedom. Christians understand with freedom comes responsibilities. Like you, I have always counted myself as a proud American. I am appreciative of …
