My pastor was giving a sermon this last Sunday while we were going through the book of Psalms.  The chapter that we were reading this week was Psalm 15.    He walked us through the whole chapter.  And while this chapter includes a long list of things that we as Christians should do, these thingsContinue reading “No Legalism: Just love”

This world has become at times incredibly complicated.  It seems as though people are always busy and are running around from thing to thing.  There is alway something to be worried about, or to be working on.  This has led to a lot of hurt, stress, anxiety, and depression in many people. The old sayingContinue reading “It’s the Simple Things”

The Bible is an amazing thing.  I have read through the Bible twice in my life, but there are still so many verses that take me by surprise because I just either didn’t know they existed, or I completely forgot about them.  One of those verses is Psalm 94:18 in the New American Standard Bible,Continue reading “Your loving kindness will hold me up”

Recently I went to softball and baseball games for my high school students.  It had been a long time since I had seen my students play their sports and do their activities.  I realized that this is something that I had greatly missed from before social distancing and Quarantine.  I realized that one thing thatContinue reading “Supporting and Encouraging”

This last week at the Bridge of Storm Lake, I gave a challenge for my team members to spend 15 minutes in quiet or silence.  This for me meant no phone, music, videos, talking, etc.   We live in a world where it seems we are hardly ever quiet and hardly ever take the timeContinue reading “15 minutes of quiet”

The past five summers I have worked in Storm Lake, Iowa for a Christian nonprofit named, the Bridge of Storm Lake.  This has been one of the best leadership, ministry, and growing opportunities of my life.  I have learned many things including how to best prepare for activities, being flexible when things are going toContinue reading “Living Intentionally”

Recently our world has been rocked with many things.  This, of course, has been happening with COVID-19, but now we are also being rocked with the protests and in some cases riots for Black Lives Matter.  There are many things that we can take from the most recent events (Many, too much for me toContinue reading “Leading with Humility”

My two favorite books of the Bible are James and Proverbs.  The reason for this is because these books are filled with pieces of wisdom.  They are practical books for how one should live their lives.  While obviously the rest of the Bible is incredibly important in order to learn about the set up forContinue reading “Guard your heart and mind”

A few months ago, I finished another poem about being in the light.  This is something that has really been on my heart for the last couple of years, and I think that especially in 2020, it is a good reminder for everyone.  Light that will take out the darknessLight that will show the wayContinue reading “Be the light”

Recently, I have been watching a lot of Youtube because of the extra time from social distancing.  (This actually isn’t abnormal for me.  I love watching Youtube.  I watch Youtube more than regular T.V shows.) I watched a few youtube videos by Shallon Lester. I have really honest to goodness no idea why I amContinue reading “Spending more time with myself”
