Posted in Bible, Jesus, Planning, Plans, Prayer on July 1, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Ok, let’s go deep today. In your work, you make many decisions every day. You contemplate strategies for the future, right? Jesus gave us a couple of great examples why… Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough [...]

We got home Sunday morning just in time to gather around my laptop and hear God speak. David Platt was preaching at The Church at Pinnacle Hills. David is only 31 years old, [...]

How are you sleeping these days?  Ever troubled by insomnia?  Anyone feel like they are working hard all day then laying awake worrying half the night? The bed looks so inviting.  You climb in and fall asleep only to find yourself awake a couple of hours later, but it seems like you just shut your [...]

2010 – Love Jesus More Deeply

Posted in Bible, Jesus, Journaling, Prayer on January 7, 2010 | 1 Comment »

OK, this week we have tried to give you some 2010 candy.
