Are you IN or OUT? What I mean to ask is, are you in the “in” crowd or the “out” crowd? If you answered “in crowd”, then you might want to re-adjust your focus and priorities. If you answered “out crowd”, ironically you may also need to re-adjust your priorities. Have you noticed that cliques […]

It never ceases to amaze me – the unexpected interruptions in life. They come from anywhere and everywhere. Unexpected trouble can blow up like a thunderhead and totally overwhelm us. I dont know about you, but my first thought is to panic. Thankfully, more and more, my second thought is to trust God no matter […]
James said to “count it all joy.” I get that. But it is easier said than done. I don’t know how it is for you, but for me, I find it much easier to rejoice in large disappointments rather than small annoyances. My car has already had one transmission fail this summer. As of last […]
Happy July 4th! Temperatures are soaring into the high nineties and low one-hundreds, so be careful out there today.

Proverbs 13:12 says, “hope deferred makes the heart sick.” I have been thinking a lot about hope lately. I really think we need to be careful in this area. If you are like me, you may find yourself hoping for things fairly easily. When some of our hopes and dreams do not pan out the […]
This has been one of those hot days when you just want to hit the beach and jump in the water rather than work. But I have so much to do. Sounds like a great opportunity to pray. So on the Heart of The City front, I am redoing the opening titles and closing credits. […]
I don’t care too much for the word “perseverance”; it sounds kinda bland and gloomy. It sounds a little “severe”.
