This spring, I undertook a simple lawn project that would teach me an unexpected lesson about spiritual growth. I planted grass seeds in two places in my lawn.

Solomon: A Lesson In Divine Wisdom
Contributed on May 13, 2025
Solomon's request for wisdom calls us all to evaluate what we really want most.

The Lord Is My Refuge
Contributed on Aug 18, 2024
In times of trouble we seek peace and safety. Where we seek it makes all the difference in the world.

Out Of The Shade And Into The Light
Contributed on Feb 6, 2025
It’s been cold outside! Last week I walked into the office and commented that it's not fair that we have to suffer through the hot Texas summers AND these sub-freezing temperatures.
