James 2:14-18 {Prayer} Exercise … it’s one of those things that you either enjoy doing or it’s something you would rather not do at all. I enjoy exercising, but just haven’t been able to have the time to do it. I sometimes joke with Jessica that I even in my busyness, I do manage…
Romans 10:5-17 {Prayer} “What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is yours.” That’s a phrase you may hear a married couple say in terms of their stuff or money. I consider the car I drive to be my car as I’m the one who primarily drives it, but in reality, I can’t get mad at…
Isaiah 29:11-19 {Prayer} Imagine with me a for a moment. Go ahead and close your eyes if that helps you. You’re riding your horse through some dark woods on a really cold night. The leafless branches are moving back and forth in the wind. Backlight by the moon, the branches cast a dancing…

Jeremiah 23:1-6 {Prayer} If you had to choose a creature we humans are most like … what creature would you choose? In the nineteenth century, Charles Darwin claimed that people are most like monkeys. Well, that was wrong then and it’s still wrong today. Many biologists now say that people are more like rats. …
2 Corinthians 12:7-10 {Prayer} As we all already know, today our nation celebrates Independence Day.

Mark 5:21-43 {Prayer} King Solomon starts Ecclesiastes 3 saying that “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.” In verse four he says there is “a time to weep and a time to laugh.” There is a time to mourn, to complain, to shed tears, to lament…
Luke 15:11-32 {Prayer} Children, children are truly a gift from God. Even in the midst of a temper tantrum, the sassiness, or a full-blown teenage attitude, even though we may think we are being punished for the way we adults treated our parents when we were their age … despite all that … children…
