In the warmer months of the year, I enjoy my morning time with God sitting on my patio. With the birds chirping and the bees buzzing, I feel closer to God there. This morning, as I sat there struggling to get into the groove of my routine, (i.e.- devotion, scripture, prayer,) I was distracted. Not by all of creation, but more with the things I needed to do for the day. I made myself open my Bible. As the red letters leaped off the page, […]

The other day, I woke up to an old hymn playing in my head, “Trust and Obey.” “Trust and obey for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus than to trust and obey.” I instinctively knew The Lord was trying to teach me something. Today, I want to share that lesson of how to trust and obey with you. I remember, years ago, sitting in a church service with this unsettledness in my spirit. An anxiousness really.

I hope you enjoy it as much now as we did then. From Travis; When Melissa first suggested I write […]
Have you ever found yourself standing on Holy Ground? Like, as soon as you put your foot down, you just knew it. Well, that is where I am. I think you might be here too. Let me explain. From time to time, I have verses swirl around in my mind as if trying to tell me something. Often there is a lesson to be learned.

This past Sunday, the church celebrated Pentecost. The day the Holy Spirit arrives! With the rushing wind and the “tongues of fire,” I can only imagine what those people experienced on that incredible day. I would have been screaming, “Fire! Fire!” But when the Spirit of Truth appears, it’s important to stand and embrace the miracle. Don’t run from it.
