It makes your face contorted and unattractive. It causes you to look down your nose at someone. It prevents you from wanting the best for others. It stops you from making amends. It locks your lips when you need to admit you are wrong. It controls your tongue when you say those regrettable words. It … More It’s Just Plain Ugly
Josh & I received an unexpected phone call a couple of nights ago. A call that literally made our whole day. And I’m sharing this not to pat ourselves on the back, but to share an encouraging thought… A young man, who was in our youth group many years ago at our former church, called … More Someone, Somewhere, Is Counting On You to Serve Jesus Well!
By: Jen McGee Do you think Jesus was “too political” when He decided to document the stoning of Stephen, the first NT martyr killed for his faith? I have been very disappointed this past week.

Presently I work from home calling our company’s current customers and offering them a free gift for using us. It’s … More THAT GLORIOUS “YES”
When my ministry friend and I give each other a knowing glance and humorously say, “Quack, Quack!”, you know that we are reminding ourselves of an important truth. It may seem like an odd phrase, but these 2 words can be very helpful. So what in the world does it mean? It means when humans … More “Quack, Quack!”
You would have thought I was on “Cloud 9” if you had seen me that day. And in some ways, I was. My brother and his family had come to visit me in Texas for the very first time. We were boating in Galveston and soaking up the sunshine. I was elated. But I was … More Behind the Smile
I recently polled a bunch of pastor’s wives about what ridiculous arguments they have seen take place in their church ministries over the years. Sadly, the list is way too long to share here.
