Get Quiet in There!

When we are experiencing anxiety and worry, we have thoughts/voices running through our heads. What if we reframe those thoughts into prayer . . . what might happen? (Please note I am referring to the emotion and feeling of anxiety, not the ...

Duct Tape Cannot Fix Everything!

“We have a problem I need you to look at,” Tom said as I drove up. He came towards me carrying his bike frame, pointing to a crack on the shaft. “I noticed this just now when I was putting my bike away. I don’t know what to do about this, ...

Oh S***, I’m Stuck!

Ever said those words? And yeah, there’s a word of great frustration in there because truth, at some point in our lives, we’ve all been “stuck” so much in something that we were angry enough to say a little profanity. In worship on Sunday, I ...

The power of words spoken together.

Thursday evening I had the privilege of joining together with Rev. Amy Coles, Lindsay Snipes, and Christopher Hampton for their wedding rehearsal. It was the desire of Chris and Lindsay for the wedding to truly be a "service of worship" so they ...

God Makes a Way and the Target Lady

Transformational Unexpected Gifts

Just a “normal gift” was so much more. Apparently, Oct. 10 was “Pastor Appreciation (PA) Day.” I wasn’t aware there was a specific Sunday for that, or if I knew, I blocked it out. This is not whining, but just stating facts. Trying to figure ...

Why Bother Saying “Thank You”?

Have you ever wondered why we should bother saying thank you to someone? I mean, what’s the point? Shouldn’t they know that we’re grateful? Especially if it’s somebody that we have a relationship with? For just a minute I’d encourage us to ...

God Moments from Ted Lasso

"Every breath you take And every move you make Every bond you break Every step you take I'll be watching you." Lyrics from a Grammy award-winning song years ago by the Police. If you are a fan of the show Ted Lasso, it was highlighted in ...

Not Everything is Instantaneous

Hopefully, by now you’ve received your “Faith Infusion Box.” Inside the box, you’ll find a balloon. Sunday, in in-person worship, I encouraged you to blow up your balloon, rub it vigorously against your hair and then put it up against your ...

“Honey, I’m Home!”

Once in the middle of the night, I got up to get a glass of water. I closed the refrigerator and glanced up and screamed. There was a person in the other room, staring right back at me! Because I was half asleep and it was dark other than the ...
