The crib, the bassinet, the car seat, the highchair, the changing table, and our arms all have one thing in common; They are all empty. There are no sounds of our daughter crying. No diapers that need to be changed. No looking over the crib to watch Leah sleep. Nothing. It’s empty and silent. MyContinue reading “Empty”

Now What?
The cards are opened. The food has been eaten. The out of town family is gone, and we said goodbye & see you soon to our little girl Leah. As my wife and I were walking the other night, I said to her “Now What?” We know that the grieving process is going to beContinue reading “Now What?”
Holding On To Hope
“Congratulations!” “She’s so cute!” “She has your eyes!” Those were phrases my wife and I were looking forward to hear, not, “I’m sorry for your loss.” “My heart breaks for you two.” “I have no words.” In three hours, our dreams and plans for our first child completely changed. On July 28th, 2021 around 2:30am,Continue reading “Holding On To Hope”
“Amen” “Awomen”: A Wake Up Call For The Church
I’ll admit, when I heard about the pastor closing a prayer with “Amen” and “Awomen” before the Congressional Session began, I thought it was a joke. I looked up the video just to watch it myself to hear the prayer and how others in the congress would react. To my surprise, there were crickets. WhileContinue reading ““Amen” “Awomen”: A Wake Up Call For The Church”
Stand Strong
Let’s face it, 2020 isn’t the year any of us planned. In fact, for many it’s been an exhausting and tiresome year. With the Covid-19 Pandemic, social issues, and the U.S. Election, and not to mention our own personal problems, many are running on empty. As a reader, you probably can relate. As we approachContinue reading “Stand Strong”

“Something Needs To Change”: A Must Read Book
I don’t do this often, actually I don’t think I’ve ever done this, but there is a book I encourage everyone to read! “Something Needs To Change” by David Platt is a book that depicts David’s week long adventure in the Himalayas. Throughout the book, David is real and authentic. He talks about some ofContinue reading ““Something Needs To Change”: A Must Read Book”
The Importance Of Prayer
Let’s be honest, all of us who proclaim to be Christians have had moments/seasons when it was hard to pray. David, who was considered “a man after God’s own heart”, went two plus years without praying to God (Read 1st Samuel 27-30). The disciples of Jesus Christ couldn’t stay awake in the garden when JesusContinue reading “The Importance Of Prayer”
The Danger of Treating Pastors As Celebrates
This past Sunday, Senior Pastor John Decker of Morning Star Fellowship in Quakertown PA, made a statement that treating pastors as celebrities is dangerous to the church. After he made this statement, I immediately thought of Acts chapter 14:8-18 when Paul and Barnabas were upset that people treated them as “gods”, to the point theyContinue reading “The Danger of Treating Pastors As Celebrates”
Embracing Your Purpose
On Sunday, May 17 2020, I had the opportunity to be interviewed by my good friend, Joshua Birchfield, who is the Pastor for Revive Church PA. In this interview, we had the opportunity to discuss what is God’s will for us, and how some times we can get frustrated with finding the right “vehicle” thatContinue reading “Embracing Your Purpose”
