Being around construction most of my life, I’m very aware of the importance of safety nets. Every construction site needs a silt fence to keep the falling debris contained to the area and out of the neighbor’s yard. Have you ever been to see a circus and watched the...

I work for a foundation and in our mission statement it states that we will sustain the legacy of our founder. How wonderful to have your legacy continue to help others after you have passed away. We to are called to leave a legacy to those we’ve left behind and it...

Such a busy day, a typical Friday. I’ve been consumed with my to-do-list and my thoughts were somewhere between final emails going out at work and what to do for dinner. Driving home the traffic was congested because of a rainstorm moving through. Bumper-to-bumper...

How do we get ourselves in such messes? If it’s not one thing it’s another. Relationship messes. Health messes. Home messes. Work messes. It leaves us felling stuck in one place as if nothing will ever change. We may even find ourselves circling the same messes for...

We have a friend whose daughter’s name is Tabitha. I must admit the first time I saw the name in scripture I thought “that doesn’t sound like a bible name to me” but I soon found out that Tabitha in the Bible was a Rock Star. This Tabitha lived near the modern city...

Every year in the fall a local small town near me host a festival called “Cotton Ginning Days”. The park has a working cotton gin, antique tractor exhibits (which my dad shows his old CASE tractor that was his dad’s), food trucks with Bar-B-Que and funnel cakes, live...
