The Way God Made Us 05/24/2018 I hope you’re having a great week, and that all the rain is making those tomato plants you planted in the back yard grow faster than you expected. Save some for me! You know, it’s stuff like rain and tomatoes that bring questions to my mind about the Lord and His designs. One thing I wonder about is sleep. Why do humans have to sleep? Couldn’t we get more done if we could just keep going 24 hours a day? But God made us in such a way that we can’t go for long without stopping and resting. You

Mistakes into Miracles 05/18/2018 The story for today starts with me being stupid, making a mistake, and then God turning it into a miracle. On Wednesday morning, I sat in the chair in my living room, bowed my head and asked God to bring people to Mission City Church who need to hear the good news of Jesus. I said “Amen”, and drove to Mission City Church. The first person I had a meeting with on Wednesday was late, which made me late for another meeting I had at the Metrolina Baptist Association. When I arrived at the

More Than Ever 02/02/2018 This week I had an interesting thought while talking with the Lord in my truck. I don’t know if you do that or not, but you should try it. Life is so busy, so I enjoy taking time with God in the silence every chance I get. The State of the Union address was Tuesday night. It's been dissected word by word, like all presidential addresses are. No president is shielded from critique, good and bad, from both sides of the aisle. There is a phrase I've heard people say many times in my life.

Through Faith 01/26/2018 I hope everyone is having a great week. Not just a great week, but a God-centered week. Not all God-centered weeks are filled with what we’d describe as great. I think of times in my life when God chose to send the rain... and I recognized later He did it so I would grow. I am thankful He loved me enough to walk with me through the pain. A life without rain is a life in the desert. We need for God to grow us. In fact, we need to pray for it. We need to celebrate it when it comes, and worship
