Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a bit of a gadget freak. Show me some new technology and start the tractor-beam, I'm sucked right in. One such tech that our family loves, that probably graces many of your kitchen countertops as well, is a Smart Screen/Speaker. We use our Google Home on a daily ...
I was working at the church this week and our faithful volunteer Rodney came in and we started talking about lightbulbs. Through our discussion, a lightbulb came on for me. We were discussing that our lightbulbs keep burning out because our receptacles are so old and need to be replaced so they can support the ...
During a recent flip through the channels in a quest to find something worthy of watching, I stumbled across an old fav from my youth-Three’s Company. I thought “Hey, I could use some good ole fashion slap-stick comedy, some harmless fun, and nothing too racy or crude.” Ummm, yeah, not so much. My memory had ...
On a hill faraway…. sometimes it does seem faraway, doesn’t it? And in the events of history, it was. Almost 2000 years have passed since Jesus hung on the cross as a tried (although unfairly) and convicted criminal. It was so long ago that sometimes it can feel unreal to us. Like maybe it never ...
My son’s senior year of baseball (and school) is upon us, and after a recent scrimmage my husband and I were holding a “debriefing” of the game and preparing for the next one (because that’s what parents do). We were peppering the boy with ALL the important questions- “What do you think the coach will ...
“Hi, my name is Mitch and I’m a movie-aholic”. “Hi Mitch!” Okay, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but maybe not. I have been an avid movie watcher since I can remember. I can be sucked into a heart-tugging, light-hearted romantic comedy like Sleepless In Seattle, just as easily as a deeply moving, epic ...
"Even as faithful followers of Jesus, we are sometimes left waiting and wondering how and when God will answer our prayers. He loves when we share our hearts with him; our dreams and desires, our fears and our disappointments. And I believe we bring a smile to His face as we seek answers and yet wait ...
I am not a brave person by nature and am the exact antithesis of an adrenalin junky. Fight or flight really gets the endorphins running which makes some people almost high but for me…. well, it just makes me sleepy as I try to calm down and turn off whatever has made me feel threatened ...
“Slow down, you move too fast. You got to make the morning last. Just kicking down the cobblestones. Looking for fun and feeling groovy.” The Simon and Garfunkel lyrics roll around my head on the last morning of a recent get away to Hocking Hills. Spending time away from the hustle and bustle of life, ...
Suddenly, I stood before the Lord; my eternity hanging on the judgment of the creator of the universe. A million thoughts and questions bombarded my mind. My entire life began to be vividly displayed before me, as if watching a movie, but with every moment viewable at one time. The Lord began to speak, “Mitch, ...
