    Satisfied

    I was riding in the car headed to work the other day, listening to music. One of my favorite songs came on, Satisfied by the Walls Group. It’s amazing how many times you can listen to something, and each time it has a different effect. This particular day as I drove and listened to this song, it was such a blessing to me. We all struggle with different things in our lives that we are striving to overcome. God will send a word to you that is truly timely. This day, this song reminded me that at the end of the day it’s truly about loving and honoring God, all…

    We’ve Got to Pray Just to Make it Today

    As I was driving into work the other day, listening to Get up Mornings with Erica. My mind began to drift off and I wasn't paying attention to the radio, but then I heard her scripture for her Ericaism, Mark 11:24. I had been thinking about the things in the news, what occurred this past weekend in Charlottesville, and the state of our country. It's hard to hear about these things and feel like you can't do anything. While I'm sure there are many things that you might think of us doing, teach your children right from wrong, stand up against wrong when you see or hear it, call out…
