I’d never have dared to become her friend.
I met Amy Coles at a conference that was geared towards learning to use technology in creative ways for ministry. (Who knew that seven years later it would be a deal-breaker if we DID NOT “get” that ...
The Holy Spirit WILL nudge about Toilet Paper
How many times in the past six weeks have you been on a quest for toilet paper?
If you are like me, the answer is A LOT!
Every single time I go to the grocery store I head to the paper products aisle first, hoping to see SOMETHING!
Empty. ...
THAT was someone I needed to be friends with!
The first time we met we both purchased our beverages separately.
It was a "first time guest" meeting of a gentleman who'd visited West once and he took me literally when I offered the opportunity to get to know more about West, faith, and how ...
Seeing IS really Believing!

The Violinist in the Parking Lot
It was an unlikely place for beautiful violin music. There was no concert hall, Blumenthal Performing Arts Center, not even a school auditorium. It was a parking lot . . . the Food Lion parking lot in Troutman.

While these are not normal "Holy Week" devotions, talking ...
What are you willing to push for?
It was so crowded, the day we went to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem last year. Truly, you had to hold on to the shirt of the person in front of you at times to not be separated and get lost in the masses. We were guided to the ...

Sticking It!
In a 24 hour time span I had a visit from the Troutman police (a great way to start a reputation in a new home/town), a busted water line, deep paw prints in freshly poured cement, and a few other crisis events that are just not worth ...
Demolition is harder than it looks
