We all have it in some form or another. I knew that I had it to some degree, but didn't realize just how much I had it until I heard it explained the way I did this morning. This complex is formed from a deep belief in our own personal lack. We aren't good enough,... Continue Reading →
Switch Flipped…
I cannot say that I am 100% back in the mindset I need to be in since my last untitled post. But what I can say is that the switch has been flipped a bit. And yes, God can and does, at times, work that quickly. While I was attempting to write a post whining... Continue Reading →
Tomorrow (Jan. 26) I will be 37 years old.....and I'm not happy about it. I can't give you any good reason as to why. I know there is an inner turmoil waging war in my soul. But I don't know why that is. I've always heard its the ages which end with a zero that... Continue Reading →

Our Unseen Protection
I grew up on the Western side of Rockingham Co. in Virginia. My area bordered with West Virginia. So being in the mountains was a very normal part of life. I absolutely love being in the mountains and riding the back roads. Now that I live on the opposite side of the county, with life... Continue Reading →

Making the Call
Life is so full of decisions we have to make. Our primary hope is that we make the right ones. Yet at times, we seem to encounter those decisions we never thought would come our way. They catch us off guard and leave us unsure of the outcome or the pain which may be inflicted.... Continue Reading →
