“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Ever since I can remember, I’ve been scared of water slides, roller coasters, and other thrill rides. My job as a band director keeps me around teenagers who wouldn’t think twice about being dropped 10 stories in a free-fall ride. I have learned much from […]

“The angel said unto them, fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ The Lord.” Perfect love was manifested to the world and the name He bears is […]

“Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the Lord. This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous shall enter through it. I thank you that you have answered me and have become my salvation. The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief […]

Then the Lord said, “There is a place near Me where you may stand on a rock.” Have you ever felt weak and helpless? I have! One day, while on this adventure with cancer, I went to the doctor. As I stepped out of the car and onto the curb, I fell. I could not […]
