I don’t typically post directly about the denomination I’m affiliated with because I enjoy focusing on a relationship with Jesus and not a man-made religion. This week was a bit different, though, because it was the week of the General Assembly of the Nazarene Church where the theology of what…

I’m going to go a bit out of my normal blog for the next few posts. This is partly because it’s where I’ve been the past few months. Mainly, though, where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing has been such a relief to me that I wanted to share…

This has been a crazy year in our household for sure! The more I’ve prayed for God to help my heart break for what breaks His, though, I’ve been amazed at how much I have come to hate cancer. Most of us have a person close to us that’s been…

We lost another good person to cancer this week: Jerry. He was the one we met during the first round of chemo treatments. He and Brian hit it off and they talked everyday that week of treatments. Jerry was also the one I wrote about back in November when I…

There is a lot of uncertainty in our world right now as the United States launched rockets into Syria last night in response to Syria’s people dying from chemical warfare. Wars. Rumors of Wars. Civil Wars. Murder. Chaos. Injustice. Evil. The picture above was taken when we went to Israel….

Y’all…yes you heard me right. I’m pulling out a southern saying instead of my usual “you guys” ’cause I just need to be on the down-low and draw out how this week has gone. “y’all, it’s been that kind of week!” Last week I told you I’ve been reading through…
