Sink Your Roots Down, Watch Your Fruit Rise Up!
Here’s another wonderful principle from the book of Isaiah. Those of us, who are willing to send our roots deep in the Lord, being fully invested(Heart, Mind, and Deed), will see the fruit of it manifest and rise upward in your life. If you feel “out of whack” today. Stop, listen to the Lord, […]
Look, No Hands!
[2Corinthians 5:7 NIV] 7 For we live by faith, not by sight. Do you remember when you were a child? One of the most exhilarating memories I have as a little guy is riding my bike with no hands. The first time you try a “No Hander” is a tenuous experience. If you have been […]

Quit Does Not Reside Within Me
Welcome to another installment of Free Poem Friday! This week I wanted to write a poem that describes how far I’ve come in the Lord. Let me explain. There was a time in my life when I couldn’t finish anything. No, not “couldn’t” but wouldn’t finish anything. I would come blazing out of the gate […]
