2 Timothy 3:1-7 “But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than…

Worth the Pain
Honestly, I’m not sure what inspired the title to this post, except for that it’s the name of the song I’m listening to right now (“Worth the Pain” by Disciple). Over the past two weeks I have traveled across 4 time zones twice, and well over 5000 miles back and forth across the U.S. As…
Year in Quotes
As I was journaling this morning and writing down the Scriptures that had stood out to me during my morning devotions, I thought it would be interested to skim over my journal for the year and compile a list of Scriptures or quotes from throughout the year. So I did. Praise the Lord for his…
The Wondrous Cross of Christmas
When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died; my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God; all the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his…
A Little Grumpiness…
As the saying goes, “a little leaven leaventh the whole lump.” Well, unfortunately, a little grumpiness can ruin an entire weekend too. I must admit that I didn’t start my weekend off very well by dropping my cell phone into the pool at work before 6:00 a.m. on Friday morning. From that point, I was…

Jesus personally guaranteed that the gates of hell will never prevail against the church. He made no guarantee that the gates of hell would not be unleashed against it, however. —RC Sproul
Life is Crazy
It has been nearly a month since I last wrote a post. In that time, I have finished three classes from Liberty University Online and started two additional classes. The stress of starting a new class is vaguely reminiscent of the fear of becoming a Masters’ student. Coursing through my veins is the chilling question,…
Lead Me to the Cross
Lift up your eyes to the heavens and behold the wondrous works of the Lord! The weather here has been beautiful lately. During the day, the blue skies and bright sunshine warm the air. A majestic array of stars adorns the night skies. It is times like this that I regret any time spent inside….
Running Through the Valley
The horse show last weekend exemplified in Senorita what I am so prone to do. As she spooked at the colorful jumps, leaping nearly four feet above the necessary 2’6” rail, her heart pounded in fear that she could not escape the frightening flowerboxes beneath. I too spook and run at the circumstances of life…
