  • Sunday Song

    Sunday Song

    Alright…so things got a little jumbled up this week and that left me with my Freebie Friday post on a Wednesday.  So today is Freebie Wednesday! Given that this week is all about going to church, and church usually falls on a Sunday, I thought it would be fun to post a little song about my favorite…

  • Should You Go To Church?

    Should You Go To Church?

    I know many people that say they believe in God but also say they don’t need church.  To say someone is not a Christian because they don’t go to church is down right wrong.  But at the same time, if you really are a Christian, you should take advantage of every opportunity to serve God…

  • Go To Church

    Go To Church

    This week’s (or month’s) challenge is not only about getting you to go to church but about getting you to go to the right church.   I will touch on my thoughts about church tomorrow and why I think church is good and why I think church is bad.  But most of the reasons I…

  • Life Lesson From a Child

    Life Lesson From a Child

    Given the topic of this week, forgiveness, I decided to research a little on the experts…children.   I found this poem (here) that was written by a 6 year old regarding a bully:   Give Me Your Love When I look at you, you have a really big smile But I don’t. You are pretty, But…

  • A Kind Act

    A Kind Act

    This one will cost a little bit of money but hey, if you want some free ways of helping out, take a look (here) or add a comment.  This is kind of related to my tithing post (here) in that I don’t feel like you have to give 10% to a church every time you…

  • My Mistake

    My Mistake

    Do you ever have those situations you look back on and wish you would have handled them differently?  I hate those situations.  Why can’t I just handle them right the first time?  This is usually caused by emotions.  Sometimes the emotions are personal and sometimes they are driven by external entities.   I guess this…

  • What Would You Do?

    A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a small post about WWJD (here) where I talk about discouragement.  This week, I’m going to throw out a tough question and then ask you what you would do and what you think Jesus would do.  Tomorrow I will share a similar situation and how I handled it.  …

  • Forgiveness

    Forgiveness

    Welcome back and I hope you all enjoyed your weekend!   For those of you that are new or for those of you that need a little refresher, last week I wrote about honesty and I challenged you to try to be completely honest in one aspect of your life (read more here).  I then shared…

  • Good Tunes

    Good Tunes

    I came into this week with high hopes but also some unknowns.  I had no idea how people would react to what I shared but I felt like God was calling me to share it.  I am very happy that God placed the people in my life that he did that could help me through…

  • Try Listening

    Try Listening

    To go along with this weeks challenge about honesty and confession (see here), a big part of that is listening.  As I touched on briefly yesterday, listening to what God is telling you is a key.   Being honest and confessing something to somebody leaves you vulnerable.  As human beings we naturally hate being vulnerable.   So…

  • Do You Need Prayer?

    Do You Need Prayer?

    If you are still struggling with something, pray about it and really try to listen to God.  Believe me, when I was going through what I shared with you yesterday (here), I prayed all of the time but I never listened.  I was the one doing all the talking and never took the time to…

  • A Single Confession

    The challenge for this week is to be honest in one aspect of your life (see here for the full challenge).  I think at one point, every single one of us has hid something from someone.  For some of us, we are still hiding something, and for others, we have a clear conscience.  So I’m challenging you…
