That's why she said..and I...and, ohhh...I get it!

You know how at the time you are experiencing something tough or confusing, NOTHING MAKES SENSE? And you ask why? why? why? why? why? why? until even God starts to go "wait, did I get that right?" Just kidding about that last part, BECAUSE, it makes sense to Him at the …

Rockin' Romans

My Christian life seemed so real to me when I read this book a couple of years ago. It was one of the first books I read and I know that was for a reason! Anyways, right now I am re-reading the book of Romans. I was in Romans Chapter 5 last night when I read something …

Newspring Salvation Tree!!

It would look like a family tree, except it would be a salvation tree! I don't know exactly how the video would look but thats why I'm NOT on the production team. OK, here's an example of a salvation tree (this one has MUCH more growing to do, but we are working on it …

"Doooo youuuu understand the words that are comiiiiiing out of my mouthhhh?"

Ok, do you ever have one of those conversations where you just don't seem to be on the same page with the other person, but it is something extremely SIMPLE you are trying to explain? I had one of those convo's with my doctor today. OR, even worse, you and someone are …

Eyes on Jesus

Sometimes I question my growth in Christ since I received Him in 2004. Well yesterday I read one of my old journals, starting on September 22, 2004. WOW, I no longer doubt my growth! I know now that it is IMPOSSIBLE to remain unchanged when seeking Christ.
