This morning, as I walked, my thoughts kept returning to leadership in our country—not just who is leading, but what their leadership is producing. Over time, results reveal what words often try to cover. But as that thought settled in, something deeper became clear: leadership is not just something happening “out there” in government or… Read more »

The Day Exposure Comes
Every day the headlines are exposing what was hidden, with names once trusted now being questioned and leaders once praised now facing investigation, whether it is a congressman tied to serious accusations or powerful figures gaining wealth in ways that raise deeper concerns, showing again and again that those who appeared untouchable are not beyond… Read more »
From the Beginning to Eternity
This morning in my reading of the Bible in John chapter 1, I sat with the words I already know, but this time I stayed in them longer. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” There is no room in that for uncertainty. This… Read more »
The King Is Coming
Eschatology can feel overwhelming because there are so many opinions, interpretations, and debates. People hold strong beliefs, and when those beliefs are challenged, it creates confusion and even division. I am not here to argue a position or push a system. I am not trying to convince you of my view. I simply want to… Read more »

Held in the Midst of It All
This morning I sit quietly and before I can even gather my thoughts, the weight of everything begins to settle in. The world feels unsettled, conflicts across nations continue, tensions rise and fall without warning, and here at home division runs deep while the pressures of everyday life never seem to let up. The cost-of-living… Read more »
Learning to Do My Part
God is the God of the impossible. That truth has never changed. But I have had to learn, often through frustration and disappointment, that He has also given me responsibility for the possible. There have been many times when I have gone to God in prayer, asking Him to move, to fix, to provide, and… Read more »
