He continued this subject with his disciples. “Don’t fuss about what’s on the table at mealtimes or if the clothes in your closet are in fashion. There is far more to your inner life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. […]
I’ve been thinking about my heart these days because I had my third heart surgery in five years a couple of weeks ago. That coupled with an impending birthday has me reflecting upon this very vital organ. I hope it is strong. I hope it is healing properly after this last surgery. I hope it […]
It’s 4 days after Resurrection Sunday. We’ve stood before the flower covered cross and marked this day in our lives. We’ve given thanks for this life we have in our risen Christ. We’ve eaten Easter dinner and candy. We’ve even made Easter candy cookies. This week my devotional book has me reading the events and […]

This word is stuck in my mind. It is a real word and in fact, a very rare word. Most people use words like largeness, enormity, abundance, vastness, instead of bigness. After Hurricane Katrina, I made many trips down Beach Blvd. in Hancock County as I worked with my team of case managers, construction coordinators, […]
Some of my best days are spent walking in the woods with my camera. When I was about 15, I experienced the presence of God in a powerful way while walking the south rim of the Grand Canyon. Our family camped and so there were lots of woods and mountains, streams and lakes, and beaches […]
Matthew 28:1-10 After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.
