How easily we can become entangled with the little things in life. In doing so we miss the bigger and greater, often more important things in life.

We have so much to keep us “entertained” these days. From TV to sports, to video games and the internet. There is no lack of stimulus for our eyes, ears and mind. My Pastor has a saying that is simple, yet gives you much to think about before you do something. “What goes in your …

Being raised in a Christian family, I grew up in church. Add being a Navy Brat, and that means I’ve seen and been a part of many, many churches. Which also means, I’ve seen lots of religious traditions. Traditions ranging from the same songs every Sunday, an altar call @ every service, to dinner on …
