"God's Game Clock"
When I was in high school I watched as my classmates made it all the way to the state finals. With the clock running down and them down by one touchdown, they methodically drove until they were within striking distance. However, the clock ran out before they could get into the endzone. The criticism that they received after the game stemmed from their lack of time management. Feeling as...
"Don't Hide From God In 2011"
Have you ever tried to hide something in your life because you were afraid what others would think? Maybe it was something that was based out of your insecurities. Maybe it was an area of weakness. Although we hide those things for a reason, maybe we shouldn’t. Instead of hiding them, maybe we should recognize them and let God deal with them. In the bible, the Apostle Paul told us that...
"Jesus has Caricatures"
Caricature artists are taught to look at the person they are drawing and pick out the most noticeable quality. Then they depict it bigger than life. Do you have freckles? Your caricature will be covered with little spots. Big ears? Stay away. Do you have a big nose? Your self-esteem might not be able to handle getting your caricature drawn. Let me ask you a spiritual question. If...

"Sharing Cookies With God"
At Christmas time I can honestly say thatone ofmy favorite thigs in the whole world are Cookies! And not just a few; by the dozens and dozens.Different varieties shapes and sizes. Whenever I’m at my grandmothers I take full advantage knowing that I am in no danger of the supply running slow. I believe there are simlarities to how God showers gifts upon us! The Bible says that all god gifts...
("God's Realtors")
God is preparing a home for me. I know that might sound strange, but the Bible teaches that Jesus went up to Heaven to prepare a place for all of the people that choose to follow Him while they are on this earth. Those of us that have received Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins are promised a home with Him when this life is over. And, let me tell you I...
"Never Out Of God's View"
Do you ever sit and watch people? Do you observe how they act, how they relate to one another? Do you ever eavesdrop on the conversations they have? The other day, while in the process of silently observing pepole in an airport, I realized that there must be time when people watch me as well. They examine me from afar. Most of the time I have no idea that they are watching. There are...
"Jesus My Paperclip"
A couple of weeks ago, I had a conversation with a girl that began to tell me about all of the struggles and disruptions in her life. She shared how her parents had moved several times leaving her a trail of shallow relationships. She talked about the death of a close relative and a strong sense of insecurity. After a few minutes, she told me that she routinely hurt herself by taking a...
"Mind Over Matter with God"
Have you ever thought about mind over matter? I’m not talking about the whole telekinesis thing where you try to move or bend things with your mind without touching them. What we’re talking here is this. If you don’t mind something in your life it really doesn’t matter. If you don’t mind that annoying person at work, it really doesn’t matter that they are annoying. If you don’t mind...
"God Can Get You There"
Because this man thought he knew the city, he was confused at the route that the taxi driver had chosen. He began to suggest that the driver use alternative routes, but each idea was answered with solid reasoning. The passenger, who was in a hurry to catch a plane kept making suggestions, until the driver finally said, “I will get you to the airport and I will get you there in time. You...
"Can You See Him"
Have you ever been frantically searching for something that you were holding in your hands? Or, perhaps you have lost your glasses because you failed to remember they were on your head. Have you ever looked right at someone not realizing they were in the room? There have been times when I lost sight of God even though he was right in front of me. Although His presence was near and He...
