Finding a Deep and Wide Christmas Advent – Dec. 10th
What is sustaining you this Christmas? And I’m not talking about coffee and chocolate versus smoothies and kale. (I know where I fall on that one!) This is a reminder that what we’re depending on or Who we’re drawing from is obvious to those around us. It’s called a food chain. We’ve heard of them, but do we realize we’re passing on what we’re feeding on?
Finding a Deep and Wide Christmas Advent – Dec. 9th
Trying to create a wonderful Christmas for someone else wearies the best of us. It’s also as futile as trying to earn God’s love when we already have it. This season is ours to enjoy, but we can miss it while we work for it! Let’s fire ourselves from the impossible job of making Christmas happen and let Jesus rule the day. There’s no comparison between

I need Jesus. You do, too. The truth is, our best intentions to fix our eyes on Jesus and walk through Christmas worshipping Him instead of getting ambushed by the demands of the holiday will fail us without His holy help.

We don’t have to participate in the Crazy Christmas Countdown. We can enjoy this day instead of seeing it as one less opportunity to get everything done. Here’s an idea: Let’s ask God to be God to us today. The very idea brings my blood pressure down, and it’s not even mine. It’s His! Over and over in the Scriptures, God expresses His intention to be

Here’s a challenge for us all. Let’s expect God today to reveal Himself to us. Wherever we are and whatever task we’re marking off the Christmas list, let’s remind ourselves that God is near, ask Him to speak, and listen.

Hey y'all, have a seat, and let's chat… I hope your summer has gotten off to a great start. It hasn’t taken long for things to heat up here in the northeast corner of Louisiana. Ironically, yet true to the life of the farmer, we were super late getting our crops planted because of all the rain—and now, we’re laying poly pipe and watering. So are
