“You are all children of the light, children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.” 1 Thessalonians 5:5 (NIV) Imagine walking through an unfamiliar dark house? Imagine walking through a dense forest at night when clouds blanket the sky hiding the stars and moonlight. For me, both situations would bring fear and anxiety, especially if I weren’t holding a lantern or some source of light. Darkness is often a descriptor for depression. Whether you are the caregiver, the one suffering, or a concerned friend of someone who struggles, you have most likely felt …
Light and Darkness
Last year waking to the news of another horrific tragedy, my first thought was that this may not be the big end of the world, but this end is just as final for many, and those who survive will bear the scars forever. I prayed. A few days later I was invited to a concert by Craig Morgan. My friend had won great tickets, very close to the stage. Craig Morgan is a master story teller and has written many songs. This was his American Stories tour and the revenue is used to benefit a national non-profit …
We See Him Best in the Dark
Can you imagine a world without electricity? What about the sun? Without the sun to light each day, we would be living in a very dark world. As it is in walking with God. Yes, God is near and present every day of my life, but He is more vivid in my darkest hours. Don’t give up friends. God is waiting for you, even if you can’t see Him. Romans 15:13 – “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the …

Growing and Glowing in the Lord
Are your growing and glowing in the Lord ? When others see you do they see something different about you? When you come around can they see you shining brightly?

We all play an important role in His kingdom, do not let the enemy take that from you. Everything we say and do should glorify our Father In heaven. He has bestowed unique gifts upon every one of us, what are you doing with them? You may be …
Truth Or Dare
Truth or dare we used to play a lot when we were kids. We’d have to make a choice whether to tell the truth about something or be dared to do something dangerous or crazy. I always chose to tell the truth but I have friends who might remember they chose climbing the roof at 10 pm instead of telling. It was all in good fun and back then we didn’t have many deep dark secrets to reveal anyway. The devil will dare you to believe his wild tales. He will try to convince you to confess you don’t believe …
