We are blessed with two amazing daughters. God has truly answered prayers as they have matured into God-fearing young women. Looking back on their earlier years, I recall moments of separation anxiety, especially when they first started school. My thoughtful wife took the time to write creative notes with fun art and Scripture references. Every […]
Reflecting His Image
Recently I was in downtown Atlanta and passed a statue of the great heavyweight champion, Evander Holyfield. This beautiful statute was revealed and dedicated in June of 2021, and I was able to see it for the first time. Immediately I recognized Evander and was flooded with memories of driving past his home in high […]
What is Love?
I love pizza! I love my wife! But if I love pizza like I love my wife, we both have a problem. Instinctively, we know there is a difference in kinds of Love. How are we as followers of Jesus supposed to love? What does it look like? In Genesis 1, God created man in […]
We Love, Because He is Love
I love you! Are those words easy for you to say? In my home we used that phrase with sincerity and frequency. Every phone call ended with those words. Every time someone left the house, those were the last words spoken. Needless to say there is no doubt that my family loves one another because […]

We all love receiving a gift, and when it is an unexpected surprise we are blown away. This may be the toy that everyone thought was sold out. This may be the surprise visit from a deployed warrior who unexpectedly walks in the door or the diamond ring that is given on one knee. No […]
They Won’t Go Away
One summer I had the great idea to transplant a few elephant ear plants from a local school to our front flower bed at home. The fact that the school was begging me to take them should have been a sign, but elephant ear plants hold a bit of nostalgia with me. My papa had […]
I Couldn’t Help Myself!
Don’t look at the bottom of the page…Don’t do it! It’s hard to not look. When I was a child there were things that I had no interest in, places I had no interest in going. And then my mom would say, “Don’t look in the closet!” Or “Don’t go past the stop sign!” Or […]

Hebrews 13
The Journey Continues We have journeyed through the book of Hebrews and not find our way to the final chapter. Hebrews 13 seems at first to be a hard pivot from long and expositional paragraphs to a list of final actions and exhortations. As you navigate through the chapter you see that it makes perfect sense. Given […]
