I remember the first time I went to a Big League Baseball Game. I was ~10 years old. My eyes were as “big as basketballs”. The stadium was magnificent….the field was perfectly manicured .… the green grass, the white lines, the red seats, the blue sky. It was really something. Over the years, I’ve been … Continue reading Amazed At The Opportunities To Do God’s Will →

When someone is “crushed in spirit”, they are  almost beyond repair, maybe unrecognizable. Usually … Continue reading “Crushed” →

I’ve heard it said that grace does not make it easy, grace makes it possible. Part of me doesn’t like to hear that.
