Ok ... it's not really midnight but I'm not staying up that late to post this and I'm so tired it might as well be midnight. So there's that. I was thinking through my day and the last few weeks ... and I was overwhelmed in a good way. It just dawned on me that when… Continue reading Midnight Musings

Words from Isaiah
Well, I wrote a different post yesterday but the Lord hasn't released me to share it which happens from time to time. So, for now, I am "sitting" on that post and we'll see how the Lord directs me to use it. Until then, I spent some time in Isaiah this morning and several verses leapt off… Continue reading Words from Isaiah
A Time of Reflection …
"[ The Magnificat: Mary’s Song of Praise ] Mary responded, “Oh, how my soul praises the Lord. How my spirit rejoices in God my Savior! For the Mighty One is holy, and he has done great things for me." Luke 1:46-47, 49 As I start to look towards 2017 and think about my goals for… Continue reading A Time of Reflection …
This Isn’t A Game
I will never understand why some married men don't wear wedding rings ... especially when they aren't in a job that restricts them from wearing it. Or at the very least mention their wife in conversation. In case you are wondering, yes, I was just made a fool. But it happens. I wasn't flirtatious, yet,… Continue reading This Isn’t A Game
Making Sense of It All
I'll be honest ... I have struggled to know what to write over the last week. The last week has been hard here in East TN. We started the week of Thanksgiving out with a horrible school bus crash in Chattanooga that saw the loss of 6 precious children. Then we had several horrible, senseless… Continue reading Making Sense of It All
A Song for this Day
I am not big on trends. I do not read the latest "it" books ... ever ... be it Christian or not. I finally upgraded to the iPhone 6 last Christmas. I still watch an occasional movie on the VCR in my bedroom ... just the movies that I have yet to find on DVD.… Continue reading A Song for this Day
Season of Thanks: A Prayer and Two Dreams
In honor of Dr. Billy Graham's 98th birthday today, I am sharing the prayer/poem that his wife Ruth Bell Graham wrote in her teens about the man she hoped to marry someday. The Man I Prayed For Dear God, I prayed, all unafraid (as we’re inclined to do), I do not need a handsome man… Continue reading Season of Thanks: A Prayer and Two Dreams
Lady Edith and I
"Where one story ends another begins." I knew something was coming as I could sense I would be sharing this story for several weeks now but I couldn't imagine how I would be telling it nor how I was to be this open with everyone, therefore, I chose to keep my mouth shut and not… Continue reading Lady Edith and I
A Placed Called Home
Over the Easter weekend, I was able to go visit my family in West Tennessee. Ever since my visit I have been thinking about "home" a great deal. The concept of home and the actual location of it. At 32 years of age, the current details that make up my home aren't at all what… Continue reading A Placed Called Home
In Everything Give Thanks
My dad has a sermon that he preaches on 1 Thessalonians 5:18 "in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." The key point in his sermon is that while we aren't always thankful for everything we can be thankful in everything. He typically then shares a personal example of… Continue reading In Everything Give Thanks
