When I first thought about writing this, I didn’t know exactly how I needed to do it. I knew what I wanted to say, but didn’t know how to say it or deliver it. So I decided to write an open letter to God. Father, a lot of things have been on my mind the last few months. Mainly things about myself. You know, quirky things or character flaws that may not be so appealing or likable to mankind...

Good evening, Inaccurate discussions about you should only remind you that “it’s really not about you.” Keep struttin’, keep strivin’, and keep believin’…and let the naysayers keep diggin’ (a hole for themselves.) This thing is so much bigger than us, and our God is so much bigger than it. “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed….All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause...

Regardless, don’t push them away simply because you can’t handle it.  Now granted some people are just outright annoying in the most annoying ways, but those people that annoy us on an entirely different level could very well make us better. Take the time to know the...

Deuces

Good evening. Sometimes we have the strongest attractions to people for reasons beyond our sight and knowledge. We know there’s a draw, an attraction, but we can’t put our finger on it. Unfortunately too often we ruin those relationships in the midst of us “trying to figure it out.” We guess and assume, second guess, rethink, and guess and assume again, while they suffer through it all. For a while they stick around hoping you’ll get it right, but then the hoping turns into waiting, and waiting turns into wasting time. Before you know it, you’re done with...
