Hey, y’all!

Let’s be honest—loving people who are hard to love is one of the most challenging aspects of the Christian walk. Whether it’s someone who’s hurt us, a difficult coworker, or even a family member who tests our patience, loving them often feels impossible. But Jesus calls us to a higher s...

Hey, y’all!

Here we are—the final day of the year. The calendar is about to flip, and all around us, people are celebrating, making resolutions, and looking forward to a fresh start. There’s something beautiful about the hope that comes with new beginnings. But as we say goodbye to one year and wel...

Hey, y’all!

As we stand on the edge of a new year, it’s natural to feel a mix of excitement and, if we’re honest, a little fear. The unknown can be intimidating. What if things don’t go as planned? What if the struggles of the past year follow us into the new one? Fear can creep in like a shadow, w...

Hey, y’all!

We’re in the final stretch of the year, and everything around us seems to be focused on the big stuff—big goals, big reflections, big plans for the new year. But you know what? Sometimes, the best place to find hope is in the small things. The little blessings. The tiny victories. The m...

Hey, y’all!

We’re in that funny space between Christmas and New Year’s, where no one’s quite sure what day it is, and we’re all still digesting too much pie and ham. The decorations are starting to look a little tired, and maybe, just maybe, you’re starting to think about the year ahead.

The thing...

Merry Christmas, y’all!

Today is the day! The gifts are unwrapped, the house smells like good food, and there’s a special joy in the air. But if we’re honest, sometimes Christmas can come with a side of weariness. Maybe it’s the exhaustion from all the planning and preparing. Maybe it’s the weight ...

Hey, y’all!

It’s Christmas Eve, and if you’re like me, you’re feeling the mix of joy, anticipation, and maybe a little exhaustion. The lights are twinkling, the gifts are wrapped (or almost wrapped!), and the air is full of expectation. But in the middle of all the hustle and bustle, there’s someth...

Hey, y’all!

There’s something about this time of year that just brings out the desire to give, isn’t there? Maybe it’s the carols, the twinkling lights, or just the simple reminder of God’s greatest gift to us—Jesus. But one of the most beautiful ways we can reflect the hope we have in Christ is by...

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 come to pass, grief has a way of m...

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 on turn out to be shaky.

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 book,” also known as his Virtue Chart, was a self-i...
