One thing we can know about God is that He loves unity.  He cares about working in unity with all those members of the Trinity, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  He also asked us to be one with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Similarly He made it so when one does get married,Continue reading “Working Together in Unity:”

A few weeks ago, Cole and I celebrated our first anniversary!! It was so nice to spend the day together.  We were able to eat the cake we saved from the wedding day.  It was still pretty good.  We also went to church together, had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, played some pickleball, and madeContinue reading “One Year Married:”

Recently I had the honor of getting to help be a 1 on 1 mentor to a young girl in my church for a few weeks.  She was 7 years old, and she was going to go into 2nd grade. She had Jesus in her heart and she wanted to learn more about Him.   ThisContinue reading “Belief in God all the Time:”

I just completed my third RAGBRAI. RAGBRAI again stands for Registers (as in Des Moines Register) annual great bike ride across Iowa. It was really fun, even when there were really hard moments in there as well.  I decided to do it alone this year, meaning I didn’t initially know anyone riding along beside me.Continue reading “The Joy of Humanity: Reflections on RAGBRAI:”

I have been starting a new book for my quiet times. This book is called, “Jesus,” by Max Lucado.  This book has been a good reminder of all who Jesus is.  Even though we as Christians can often believe we know who Jesus is, it is good to be reminded about all the Characteristics GodContinue reading “Depending on the Vine:”

This past year, I have been talking to a lot of people about running my first marathon.  I am really nervous and stressed about this.  I am often thinking about what I should do when it comes to my long runs, my regular workouts, etc.  I am thinking through what I should do when itContinue reading “Humbly Run Your Own Race:”

There are some days when it is hard to get up and run.   There can be days when it is hot and humid, or there can be days when it is cold and dreary and either one doesn’t sound pleasant to run in.  As runners, we should be able and ready to run inContinue reading “It’s All About Attitude:”

I have just finished the book, “Holy Moments”, by Matthew Kelly.  This was a very good, insightful, and yet a short book about finding moments in our lives and turning them holy.  What is a Holy moment?  It is when a person is able to see God through a particular instance.  This could be becauseContinue reading “What can One Person Do?”

As much as I didn’t want it to be, this summer has become very very busy.  I am trying to find moments to slow down, but it hasn’t completely worked out yet.  There are still a lot of things going on and a lot of places to be.  Some of the reasons have been bigContinue reading “The Joy in the Sport:”

I have been continuing to do the work in my devotional book about prayer.  This morning was about spending time in prayer, even when it is not something you want to do.  Even though we may have the time, and we may have some issues to pray over, we can sometimes find ourselves struggling toContinue reading “Spending Time in Prayer, even when it is Hard:”
