  • From My Journal – God LOVES Me!

    While I try to be as transparent as possible on this blog, it’s not often that I share something directly from my heart and raw in nature. But, I wanted to take a second and share something that I wrote in my personal spiritual journal a few days ago. I think that many of you,…

    Impossible to Extraordinary

    I know that this has been said many times and is a pretty obvious biblical truth but, it also seems to be something we often forget.

    When I was a kid, I loved to eat. Even more than I do now. My parents had no problem with me eating (I was a big boy), but they didn’t like me eating at certain times. One of those “no eat” times was before dinner. Starting about an hour before dinner, I wasn’t supposed…
