Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His presence continually! Psalm 105:4 When my wife, Lari, and I started dating, it completely changed my life for the good.

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 I sure hope the Steelers win the Super Bowl this year! I hope it doesn't rain today. Hopefully, I won't get the flu this year. For what things do you desire? We put out fertilizer on our [...]
I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 34:4 I don't like snakes. I'm sure that many people are just like me, but I don't like them. It has nothing to do with the serpent in the Bible. It has everything to do with their ability [...]

...even there Your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. Psalm 139:10 Growing up in my house was fun. I can remember having sock fights with my sister. We would barricade ourselves in our rooms, which were across from each other, tie our socks together, and have a war back [...]
The sheep hear His voice, and he calls His own sheep by name and leads them out. John 10:3 What if you knew? Ten days to live, and you knew it. How would you plan your days? Would you spend time with your family? Your mom? Your brothers and sisters? The walls were beginning [...]
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." Matthew 7:21 I thought I did enough to make it. I probably made more free throw shots than anyone on the team. I was an excellent [...]
