Our task is to stand tall in God's love, secure in our place, sparkling in kindness, surrounded by his goodness, freely giving to all who come our way. You, me, and the Christmas tree. Picked, purchased, and pruned.

God would prefer we have an occasional limp than a perpetual strut.

Being religious without knowing the cross is like owning a Mercedes with no motor. Pretty package, but where is your power?

Waiting is a sustained effort to stay focused on God through prayer and belief.

When we're in the middle of a difficult time, we have to speak against that lie that says, "God is not here." We have to draw near to God.

Does God notice when I'm afraid? Note the resolve in the eyes of Jesus as he marches through the storm to rescue his friends.

Prayer lets God do what he does best. Take a pebble & kill a Goliath. Take the common, make it spectacular! Pray & see what He can do.
