Mom
We will honor our mothers this Sunday. During this time, we remember everything our moms and our wives have done for us. I am no different. I think about what my wife and my mom and my mother-in-law have done for me. When I think about them I know I...

Who is your Lord?
We have just finished celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. We had services all week leading up to Easter. It was a great time for the community of churches to get together and worship. It was exciting for Cedar Grove and I to be a part of this....
Seasons of change

Love note to my wife
To my wife, I am writing this note to thank you for all that you have done for me. You have supported me in everything I have done and the decisions that were made. You supported me when I went back to school. You supported me when we were called by...
State of mind
What is your state of mind? This is something to consider this time of the year. Some people may be sad, some may be happy and excited, while others are out of their mind. People may experience all of those things at some time during this holiday...
Serving God and Country
I have the privilege to write this devotional on the week before Veteran’s Day. As I have become older I have come to appreciate and understand the sacrifice that many in my family have made. The ones that I know about all made it back from wars. I...
