Putting things into perspective this Christmas
Perhaps Christ came in a manger to foretell the story of your glass slipper. Were you holding out for a hero? A knight on a white horse, in shining armor. Maybe we were looking for something similar. But the birth of a King in manger isn’t so you can have an ordinary life. The ultimate…

Join me in praying today: National Day of Prayer
President Trump declared today-March 15th as National day of prayer. As I watch events unfold and chaos around me, I can’t help but pray. As a critical care nurse, I’m not in a state of panic as we care for really sick patients and deal with lots of scary viruses daily. As a Christian, I…

If you’re going to wear red, wear it boldly
Travel fills an yearning for the stories we hear and read about, creating lasting photographs within our memories. With Cessna, doors become runways leading me to places I never imagined.

Crazy like Noah
Let your faith be bigger than your fears That seems so obvious and for Noah, I am sure he was afraid that he looked like a fool in front “society” and he was, he was absolutely crazy to build such an enormous boat. But doing so saved his family. Sometimes we can be so engulfed…

When I don’t know how to be still

You must be what he’s here to save
I’m not sure who needs to hear this, but I hope the one who does finds his/her way to this post. I found myself at a random Wendy’s in the middle of nowhere. I was craving a chocolate frosty. It was a young girl, Hannah, who took my order. At least that’s what her name…
