I joined a team to run the Beach to Bay, a six-person marathon run in Corpus Christi, Texas. Each person ran a distance of 3 miles to 5 miles. There were six legs of the run, and I was the first leg, which was on the beach--thus the name "Beach to Bay." There were 8,000 runners this year. I've run the first leg already three times, so it was fairly uneventful for me to get … [Read more...] about Dead Last: A Chance to Catch Up
Walking Through Quick Sand
"And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart" (Galatians 6.9 NKJV).

Finding Freedom from Familiar Spirits
A familiar spirit or otherwise known as a familiar stronghold is a way of thinking that does not line up with God’s Word.

Therefore, their negative thoughts continue to dictate their … [Read more...] about Finding Freedom from Familiar Spirits

The Violent Take it by Force
“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force” (Matthew 11.12 NKJV). Before Jesus says the above quote, He had been talking about John the Baptist to the crowds. John was not a “reed shaken in the wind” who was “wearing soft clothing” (Matthew 11.7-8 NKJV). He was not a push-over or people pleaser. … [Read more...] about The Violent Take it by Force
