10,000 Angels
“He could have called ten thousand angels, To destroy the world and set Him free. He could have called ten thousand angels, But He died alone, for you and me.” This popular hymn has been running through my mind for a couple of days now. Not because of the catchy tune that goes with it, but…

Don’t let the west win
“As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.” Psalm 103:12 We use this verse a lot, rightfully so, to describe how far God removes our transgressions from us. One can never catch the west by going east or vice versa. Once you are going east…

From Rags To Rugs
For as long as I can remember, my grandmother made rugs on her loom in her basement. She took old rags, such as jeans, shirts, and other various materials, that are long past their use and turned them into beautiful rugs. I have 12 of them all throughout the house and they mean so much…

For Mom
Rarely, if ever, do I get personal with these blog posts. The message of the Bible is more important than my life and I try to put the focus on God. This post will be slightly different because I want to talk about my mom for a moment and honor her memory. She died February…

Holes
Death is a difficult thing to cope with for those of us still living. I don’t think it is something that we will ever get used to nor should we. Death is something that we all must face, whether it is our own or of those we love so dearly (Hebrews 9:27). Oh, it is…

Fat Squirrels
Over the last two years, Kristina and I have watched all the squirrels that run around our house and through our trees. From early spring to dark winter nights, these little furry creatures change their appearance. As the weather starts to cool and the days get shorter, the squirrels get fatter! They are eating as…

One Verse
Hebrews 11 is a great chapter about faith. It’s a chapter that most have read. It’s often our go to chapter for great examples of faith, for encouragement to remain faithful, and for that faith pick me up that is often needed. We read about these great people of faith and are in awe (as…

What Do You See At The Cross?
I assume most people are aware of the crucifixion of Jesus. If not, I would encourage you to stop now and read about it in the four Gospels…Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. It doesn’t matter how many times I read it, the emotions that swell up inside me are overwhelming. I literally get teary-eyed when…

“I’ve Had Enough!”
I love to preach. To work on a sermon all week, deliver it on Sunday, and start the process over again really is my favorite thing in the world. I think about people that work in a factory and wonder how they could box a product, day in and day out, all week, and not…
