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! My “situation” soured and then died years ago, yet for one reason or another the last nail was never placed in its coffin. I was illegally “wronged,” tried to muddle through, then eventually gave “it”… Continue reading Look for Your Cloud!

There is a want and a willingness to please the other person. The needs and wants of their… Continue reading Examine Your Relationship!

Buried or Planted?

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 even… Continue reading Buried or Planted?

The Root of the Matter (excerpted from God and The Garden)

  “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 holds… Continue reading The Root of the Matter (excerpted from God and The Garden)
