Look for Your Cloud!
Like many people, I’ve a few areas in my life that are a bit…dry. One in particular is quite crispy. Crisss-pee!

Power and Authority
A hint of spring is here in the Atlanta area. The snow and ice are finally gone. I really applaud you out there who deal with all the white stuff regularly.

Buried or Planted?
There are times in life when we feel stressed and overwhelmed by daily responsibilities. Family obligations, job stresses, health issues and an array of other things can make us feel as if we are overcome and buried beneath a ton of bricks. We often bury ourselves beneath the weight of unnecessary commitments, circumstances, and evenContinue reading “Buried or Planted?”

“But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away,” Matthew 13:6 NKJV No matter how beautiful the plant, no matter what its leaves look like or its fruit that shines, if the roots are rotten it is as good as dead. The same also holdsContinue reading “The Root of the Matter (excerpted from God and The Garden)”
