Ticking Time Bomb
I’m a ticking time bomb. At least that is what my Dr told me today. Not completely sure what he meant by that. I was in to see him from my bi-weekly treatment and he always seems so amazed that I feel good. It’s almost like he’s expecting me to be in misery. Well IContinue reading "Ticking Time Bomb"
Help My Unbelief
One of my favorite verses is found in Mark 9:24. Here we meet a man whose son is possessed by a demon. He comes to Jesus and asks for his son to be healed, if Jesus can. Jesus picks up on that lack of faith (of course Jesus can) and responds with "everything is possibleContinue reading "Help My Unbelief"
Finding Purpose
Sometimes I have trouble finding purpose for things in my life. And lately, I've been struggling with that as I've continued to go through treatment. It's almost been 2 years now since all this started, but in reality my health issues stretch back even further. What was the purpose for all that stress, pain, suffering,Continue reading "Finding Purpose"
Where are You?
Where are you? We all have our own ideas of how we will serve God, where we will minister, and what we should be doing for God.

The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away
What did Job say when he lost all his possessions, his sheep, his camels, even his children. All which had been killed and his possessions had been captured. What did he say? “Naked I came from my mother’s womb,and naked I will depart.The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away;may the name of theContinue reading "The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away"
Are you content?
Most people know Philippians 4:13, “For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” What a great verse and there is a lot of great truth there. But let’s look at the context around that verse. Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whateverContinue reading "Are you content?"
One Year and Counting
So about this time, one year ago, I went in for some routine tests and came out a cancer patient. Most will see that as a bad thing. Trust me, it’s definitely not what I wanted to hear. And at first I was in shock. However, within literally minutes, I kicked into survival mode andContinue reading "One Year and Counting"
God Will Make Us Mighty Warriors

But God is always moving, always performing miracles. He is always saving us. Sometimes these come through miracles, but more often than not he usesContinue reading "God Will Make Us Mighty Warriors"
