Authenticity

  • Check Yourself

    Do you check your spirit? In Luke 18:9-14, the Pharisee prays self-righteously, boasting about his religious practices, including fasting twice a week and paying tithes. In contrast, the tax collector humbly prays for mercy, and Jesus highlights the tax collector’s humility. So many times, we worship and seek after the wrong things. I know this… Read more

  • Let Go

    I do not believe it is healthy to dwell on and live in the past. God is a God of new beginnings. He sent His son so we could have life “and life more abundantly.” Swimming constantly in the waters of the past will prune your skin and you.Place your hope and faith In God… Read more

  • Humble Revelations

The parking lot looked like the Atlanta Airport! There was at least 1000 cars there and 1500 – 2000 heathens running around in Costco… Read more

  • Tomato Basil Soup and Bread

    January’s cold weather spurs a hungry desire in me for Progresso’s Tomato Basil Soup.  It is my favorite winter comfort food. There are so many different food combinations you can pair with tomato soup. If you were to poll random people each would name various food choices to go along with their tomato soup. Crackers… Read more

  • It Begins With Me

    One of the best accomplishments you can achieve is accepting the fact that often you are the problem in our life, We had rather believe everything and everyone else is causing our misery.  We cry to anyone who will listen “If my boss had given me the promotion I applied for I wouldn’t be behind… Read more
