On Thanksgiving morning, I woke up to rain. Not the little sprinkle type, but the cats and dogs type. I had a virtual half marathon to run. Maybe I could run it on the apartment treadmill? Nope.

Today, I was at the beach reading. The theme “Following God’s will” has been on my mind a lot lately. After quite some time the heat of the day came.

When I was a kid, I liked going to the Long Island sound. I would walk along the beach and pick up large rocks. Some of the rocks weighed about 5 lbs other “giant” rocks were about 15-20lbs. It took a lot out of a scrawny 9 year old to lift them. But there was… Read More Joy under the rocks
Jesus said, “No one who sets a hand to the plow and looks to what was left behind is fit for the Kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62 Choices are a part of life. They can free us or they can enslave us. Choices can bring us peace or anxiety. What we choose ends up… Read More He will take care of it.
