Your strengths

What are you good at?  Really!  What has God given you a great ability to do?  This weekend I touched on this when we were looking at Romans 12.  Paul mentions that we need to evaluate ourselves properly and use the gifts he’s given us accordingly.   Part of evaluating yourself is to know what we’re [...]

Dear back

Dear Back
We’ve been together for 32 years now.  32 years of scratching, growing, twisting and turning.  You haven’t left my side because my side is attached to you.  You are always behind me.  Back; I pat you.

When I try to play soccer … useless
You could have probably read the three statement and agree (especially if [...]

Our backyard has an attraction to animals. I’m not sure why? Last night after a great night out with the kids we found a stray dog at our garage, four ducks in the backyard and a cat thinking we were it’s owners!
