A Different Adventure
Our school district had a day off to celebrate Eid, which is the end of Ramadan. As the weather was finally turning warmer, my girlfriend and I decided to do something with our kids to get them out of the house. Normally, I’m the one doing the planning, but there was somewhere local that she […]
Happy Mother’s Day
Good morning and Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mother’s to all who are celebrating. And to those women who are waiting to become a mother, there is something here for you too. Today will be a bit of a departure from my usual post – I want to share a bit of my own […]
What’s Your Message?
Yesterday morning I wanted to journal on a particular verse that came to me. But, as my routine was already off, I didn’t get around to it. This morning as I sat in my quiet time reminding God that I still didn’t have a topic to share (or the one I wanted to), I was […]
A Smile, a Joke, and a Kind Word
A few days ago I needed to catch a train, which has been an unusual occurrence since the pandemic started. As I was walking towards the train station, I saw a young man holding a bouquet of flowers. I jokingly said ‘you’re so kind, thank you for my flowers’. We both laughed. He said ‘good […]
Facing Our Fears
Have you ever felt so paralyzed by fear that you stop doing activities that you have normally easily done? That’s where I’ve found myself recently. Things that I never thought twice about doing, I’ve now started obsessing about the way I should do it, or if I should even do it at all. I’m creating […]
God Keeps His Promises
Have you ever been just so desperate to hear from God regarding your situation? You’ve been diligently asking and seeking – but the answer or more like, the timing of the answer just isn’t changing. That’s where I found myself once again this week. Frustrated and weary – a bad combination. One of the things […]
Rest for the Soul
This past week was spring break for my daughter’s school. We needed to do something differently than we’d done since school started last fall. I decided to take her on an adventure to a local hotel with a pool. Change of scenery without the need to travel. That day, we both decided to wear a […]
Aim Differently
This was the title of our church’s youth day sermon. The pastor shared a funny story of he and his wife playing paper basketball to illustrate his point. As I listened to him, I started assessing my own life and my faith journey. When I started, I honestly had no direction of where to go. […]
Trust Me!
Earlier this week, my daughter asked me for a new gadget. She already has one, but it doesn’t have enough storage, so it’s freezing when she’s attempts to play any games. As she’s getting older, she’s getting more knowledgeable about the different devices, and she now has something specific in mind. As I don’t think […]
Driving Anxiety – Almost Resolved
I’ve not quite been ready to write about this.. but alas.. I guess it’s time.I’m sharing in the hopes that it may help someone out there struggling with something similar. If you read my posts, you know that I’ve shared about my driving anxiety. That started two years ago – almost to the date. I […]
