To finish up this week celebrating God's creation, I'm going to leave you with a study on the importance of the beach. After visiting a couple beaches this summer, I can tell you that all of this rings true. I'll be taking a couple weeks off starting Monday so that I can get my kids started in their school activities. Summer is about over for us. It was a short but wonderful one. Enjoy the rest of yours! Neuroscientists Strongly Recommend ThatYou Visit The Beach Regularly. He

Did you know that the Big Bang Theory supports the Bible and the story of creation? In fact, a Catholic priest, Father Georges Lemaire, proposed the theory in the first place. So many people think that science, religion, and faith are incompatible, but if God created the world, if God actually exists, how could science be something that doesn't give us glimpses of Him? My family and I were in the Houston Museum of Natural Science this summer (great place, by the way), and tuc

As we get into the dog days of summer, we're going focus on the incredible nature of God's creation. Enjoy today's song!

Who is God? Really. Have you ever thought about who God is to you? I think it's easy to put God in a one word box, but in reality, God is so much more if we just think about it. Here is one way to look at it. He Is by Aaron Jeoffrey: In Genesis, He’s the breath of life In Exodus, He is the Passover Lamb In Leviticus, He’s our High Priest In Numbers, the Fire by Night Deuteronomy, He’s Israel’s guide Joshua, He’s salvation’s choice Judges, He’s Israel’s guard In Ruth, the kins

Isn't it funny how hard it can be to accept someone else's generosity or even something as simple as a compliment? I know that I am one who is happy to help others, stepping in when times are tough or even helping out on a fun project, but asking for help for myself was much harder. I've gotten much better, because I realized that the person that kind of attitude hurts the most is me. This song is a great reminder to get over ourselves and accept what we have been given. Acce

Happy Friday!

A friend shared this beautiful prayer with me, and I want to share it with you. Pray it. Live it. Come Holy Spirit! Holy Spirit Come to me! Fill me! Inspire me! No, that’s not right Be the source of wisdom in my life Become the spring of discernment throughout my days Mature in me as the Spirit of God Not just while my hands are held high in worship But while they are cuffed by hardship In drudgery and setbacks In delays and interruptions Interminable waiting Yes, that’s righ

I am so very imperfect. I mean, truly imperfect. I want to be like so many of the amazing saints I have learned about, and most times I just can't. For sure, I can't be like the whitewashed perfect stories about them. But, when I look closer, most of them are pretty much imperfect. Their perfection comes from giving all of it over for God to mold, direct, and use as was needed in His most perfect plan. It's hard to be grateful for my weaknesses and faults, for my failures and

I know I've heard this before. I think it came from my girls upstairs. Or was it me and my teenager? Or was it when I was praying. I just can't remember. Happy Friday! I hope your weekend sounds better than this.

I was at a gas station about to pump gas into my car and I saw a homeless man standing around the corner of the building. To the surprise of everyone around me, I ran to him and gave him the biggest hug I could. This man had been working a corner in my area for years, generally with a sign about his Lear jet being out of fuel. I carry food in my car to hand out to people on the corners, and he's someone I had asked for preferences to help me get the ones that tasted good but
