I am responsible for my attitude. Our culture teaches us to blame others for our mistakes. I cannot always control my circumstances, but I can control my attitude. I choose whether I am joyful; my circumstances only control me to the level I let them. My attitude is either my friend or my enemy. A […]
We had communion at my church this morning and I found myself meditating on the sacrifice Jesus made for me by coming to earth and dying on the cross for sins that He didn’t commit. He lived a perfect life and died because of the imperfect life I continue to live. This was the ultimate […]

I’ve probably read the third chapter of 2 Timothy a dozen times in the last week. I keep returning to it, hoping that I will understand Paul’s message to Timothy more clearly than the previous times I read it.
