I love Fantasy Football. I get hooked into this life-form a few years ago when we started an innocent little league at our church. Over the years I’ve had some accomplishments including the championship last year (see picture for proof). I’ve also had my fair share of losses. Included in those losses are some bad [...]

About once a day I find myself daydreaming. Daydreaming about what could be and what currently is. In those moments, I have to remind myself to come back down and get going at the task at hand. I just get to a point in my day where I’m done with what is and I just [...]

James 2:1 My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism. James is talking about how we treat people in respects to them being wealthy or poor, but I’d like to challenge you to think about it within your family. So often we hear people voice an opinion of having a [...]

Romans 12:6-10 “ In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If [...]
