For most of my life I have been on the mountain tops or climbing toward them. Even in the midst of the unknown I was still climbing up because of the safety nets I had around me. Now I am in this valley. In a point lower than usual. I cannot see what is ahead … More The Valleys of Life
A week ago some of my friends and I went out to worship at Southerndown at sunset. What incredible experience this was. It was so amazing looking out and seeing the sky change to so many different colors as the sun went down. However, reality also hit me hard as I stood by myself looking … More The Beginning of the Lasts
After the horrific event in Manchester yesterday, I cannot help but think about all the terrible events in this world.

At just eight years old, I watched the t.v. flash clip after clip of two planes … More Things We Cannot Ignore

As the Thanksgiving season approaches I cannot help but think of all the things I have to be thankful for.

It is crazy to think around this time last year the Hatchers and I decided to take a trip to this mysterious place called Barry. I vividly remember thinking how beautiful it was and what a shame it was I would probably never be back again. I really believe the Lord has a sense of … More The Unexpected
