The Difference

What makes the difference? Between a Christian and a non-believer? What is the real big difference? The biggest difference...is not what you would think it is. Many have this view that Christians are a group of righteous holy saints that have made it in the good books and have somehow become special. The thing is, Christians aren't that much different from everyone else. We are all lost and broken people. We all make mistakes, we all have done things that make us very undeserving of a ticket into Heaven. But yet somehow when people see us it seems as though that isn't the case....but the thing is, we still struggle with those battles. The fight between right and wrong, good and bad, light vs dark is in all of us, even those "saints." The one thing that sets us apart is that we have hope...a hope in the belief that we have a friend who will never leave us and will stay with us no matter what...that friend is Jesus. Take a look at what He did, dying on the cross for us. Sure what He went through was pretty much hell in a nutshell, but He endured it for us...you and me, all brothers and sister, each like the other, lost and hurting in a broken world, rescued so we could be free from the chains we call Life. It's a condition all mortal humans deal with, sin, it haunts and kills, chases and hunts down, finds and devours, hides and subtly sneaks in....like the addiction of a drug addict...or the addiction of a smoke addict. You believe it will never hit you but then it does

In A Different Way

Many parents have their way of doing things...I propose we do things In A Different Way here are some ways parents DO their things The "Empowerment" Way 1. Because I can, because I said so The "Comparison" Way 2.  So and So would never do that! Why can't you be like (name here). The "Simple" Way   3. your grounded. I'm taking your phone! Go to your room! Tell your dad (tell your mom) These ways can work (they often do, ask any parent!) but we aren't here to do it the EASY way, we're here to teach our kids. The truth is...some kids don't learn from the Easy Way but most parents aren't willing to try any other way. They use excuses like "it worked for them...it works on my other kid(s). They just don't take the time. Then parents are left wondering "why do my kids never listen?" The problem is that kids aren't being taught. Sure, these methods work a lot but that doesn't guaranteed that every ki

Meaningful Moments

 "Love is enough" The quote that many have requoted for years. While some may say it is true, is it really? Is love really enough? What does that even mean? Well, some would say love is a feeling so if we're going based solely on that fact, then sorry to say but no it is not enough. See that is the problem, we base our relationship on how we are feeling. We base the ranking of our family on how we feel about each other and whether we fight or not. You may not be aware but ALL...let me say it again, ALL relationships have their ups and downs, every family fights once in a while. If you really base it solely on that, you'll be let down every time. "So what do we base it on?" you may ask; You base it on actions, its a conscience decision everyday to say "no matter what, I will stick around and fight for you, for US." That is what you signed up for when you said "I do" and many of us are standing at the altar with our children present while w
