He shouldn’t have done that to me! She shouldn’t talk to me that way! He lied to me! She hurt me! My best friend didn’t keep his word! My friend really hurt me! I didn’t deserve that! And the excuses just go on and on and on and on and on about why we shouldn’t [...]
Things just happen. I’ve heard that comment, or some similar, most of my life. Most people who believe that usually have a skewed view of God and His interaction with us. When I was younger, I was told by a band director in high school that, “Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.” He was [...]
Regardless of your position in a church, I’m confident that you often find yourself wearing the mediator cap in the middle of a disagreement. Disagreement happens when people have a difference of opinion over almost any issue. Usually, disagreement, when handled correctly, will not move to the critical level of conflict. Basically, conflict is [...]
I love Chick-Fil-A. I sometimes even buy two sandwiches when I’m not hungry just because is tastes so good. On top of that, they sell this new thing…..a PEACH MILKSHAKE, that tastes just like it was homemade in my kitchen in an old wooden churn. I’m not much of a fan of the waffle fries, [...]

From generation to generation, people have settled on their favorite soft drink. Mine is Mountain Dew. After ball games, after a hot day on the school bus, and at [...]

I mean those who keep you from getting any words in a conversation because they feel like their words and thoughts are more important than yours. How about those who never stop complaining? They say things like, “I don’t [...]
There were many things that Jesus said throughout His ministry. He said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life” (John 14:6) He said, “whosoever believes in Me will not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). He said, “Neither do I condemn you, now go and sin no more” (John 8:11). He said, [...]
Coney Island is known for many things. The rides, the beaches, a place where dreams are made, and hot dogs. I’m sitting here today and trying to figure out what the purpose is in a Hot Dog Eating Contest. Each contestant is introduced with music as if it were the NBA Finals. Wall-to-wall people screaming [...]
After reading through a review of the new movie “Magic Mike,” I feel I needed to weigh in on the conversation. We live in a society that glamorizes infidelity, publicizes friends with benefits, and minimizes the consequences of both.
