Hey, y’all!

You ever notice how one little light can change everything in a dark room? It doesn’t take much. A candle’s glow, a flashlight beam, even the flicker of a match. That tiny bit of light makes the darkness retreat, and suddenly, you can see your way forward.

Hey, y’all!

Have you ever met someone who just radiates hope? I’m talking about the kind of person who, even when life throws curveballs, still seems to have a steady peace about them. Maybe they’ve been through hard times, but they’re not crushed by them. There’s...

Hey, y’all!

Ever had one of those days when everything seems to go wrong? I mean, everything. The kind of day where you just want to pull the covers over your head and say, “I’m out.” Life can hit hard, and sometimes it feels like there’s nobody around to lift you up...

Hey, y’all!

Timing is everything—or so they say. And I don’t know about you, but sometimes it feels like God’s timing and my timing are on completely different schedules. You pray, you wait, you hope, and then you wait some more. And when things don’t happen when you...

Hey, y’all!

Grief is one of those things that can knock the wind right out of you. One moment you’re going through life, and the next, you’re standing in the wreckage of loss. Whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or a dream that didn’t...

Hey, y’all!

I don’t know about you, but there are days when it feels like everything’s shifting under my feet. People let us down. Plans fall apart. Even our own best intentions seem to come up short. It’s easy to get discouraged when the things we thought we could count...

Benjamin Franklin was one fascinating guy. Like many of our Founding Fathers, he left behind a significant paper trail displaying his brilliance. He was also badly flawed (aren’t we all?) 

I’m intrigued by his “little book.”

Franklin’s “little...

Thanksgiving is more than a holiday—it’s a chance to reflect on gratitude and giving. But have you ever wondered why some people naturally bring harmony and joy into your life? It often comes down to one thing: unselfishness.

Selfishness is at the root of most conflicts. James 4:1-2...

Hey, y'all!

I can be a real crybaby. It's one of those things that, after many years of not admitting the obvious, I've had to embrace. For instance, there's a Salvation Army commercial that shows a young mother and her daughter being evicted from their home. Gets me every time. 

Have you...

Hey, y’all! I want to share a story that’s been on my mind lately. It’s about a pet food company that was in trouble. Their sales had tanked, so the CEO called an urgent meeting with his top executive team. Picture this: everyone gathered around a massive conference table, the...

Reflections After the Election

I watched very little of the returns last Tuesday night. I voted, did my part, and decided that marinating in nonstop coverage didn’t seem to serve any helpful purpose. Instead, I watched an incredible documentary on composer John Williams on Disney+....

Hey y’all!

If you’ve been paying attention to the news or scrolling through social media, you know our country is in the thick of another intense political season. In my 68 years, I’ve never seen anything quite like it. Tensions are high, conversations turn heated in seconds,...
