SELF SABOTAGE
I was playing doubles pickleball with a friend recently and she was having difficulty getting her serve into the opposing team’s court. Each time it was her turn to serve, she’d hit the ball out of bounds. This happened three times in a row. I encouraged her with the...
Archie and the Cat Poo
(THIS STORY IS FROM 10 YEARS AGO WHEN ARCHIE WAS STILL A PUPPY. I SURE DO MISS HIM!) I let my dog, Archie, sit in my lap for a couple of minutes yesterday. He hasn’t done that in months since he doesn’t really “fit” in my lap anymore now that he’s 9 months old. He was...
UPWARD
My son and I were walking on a concrete pathway along the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. After hiking along the path for over a mile we decided to head back. But, on our way back, I noticed that we were now going “uphill.” When we began our hike, I...
“The HILLS”
In Psalm 121 the psalmist wrote, “I lift up my eyes to THE HILLS – where does my HELP come from?” That’s a very good question we should all ask ourselves from time to time during our lives…”WHERE DOES MY HELP COME FROM?” If this Psalm were written today, it...
MOVING FORWARD … LOOKING BACKWARD

My wife clipped a bloom from our Magnolia tree and put it on the kitchen counter. When I saw it there on the counter, I got up close to take a whiff. Wow! What an awesome fragrance it had. A few days later, I passed by the bloom on the counter and noticed that it had...
TWO KINDS OF POTENTIAL
There are two kinds of potential everyone has that goes unseen … 1.) UN-REALIZED Potential. 2.) UN-UTILIZED potential. A baby crawls across a cold, hard floor. He is at the age where he could begin to walk, yet continues to crawl. The potential is there, but is it...
A SONG OF HEAVEN
I woke up one morning singing a song inside my head that I learned in a dream from the night before. When I awoke from my dream at 2:30am, I immediately went to record the song on my iPhone so I wouldn’t forget it. The neat thing about the song I learned was...
BELIEVERS AND DOUBTERS (A Bible Study)
All through Jesus’ life and ministry he had people who believed in Him and supported Him, and also people who doubted him and mocked Him. I went through the gospels one time to mark the places where it was recorded where one group of people believed in Him while...
