Good or Bad: Which Oz Witch Do You Relate To?
"Are you a Good Witch or a Bad Witch?" These famous words from the 1939 film, The Wizard of Oz, have been ringing in my head for the past few weeks. I think many of us, if asked that question, would have the same r… -
Thoughts On Being "Poor"
I wondered tonight if I'm afraid of being poor. You might think that's an odd thing to be afraid of. Growing up, my family didn't really have a ton of money, and while I don't even think that we kids thought that our f… -
Patience is a Virtue

Every Time I Start to Rant I Get Convicted
My Senior Pastor mentioned this week that he's observed that people are arriving later and later to church services. I've noticed it too. It's frustrating, no doubt, when kids walk in to Children's Church fifteen minut… -

When I was younger, I was one of those do-it-alls. You know, that kid who was late to a youth activity because he had sports after school and then play practice, then a meeting for National Honor Society, a night of prac…
