Starting is easier than finishing — at least it is to me. I get such an adrenaline rush and a burst of creativity at the start of a project. But after its been in place awhile, it’s easy to get discouraged or just plain bored. Be it a home improvement or craft project, fitness plan, [...]

So if we know where we are going, we need to know how we are going to get there, right? Having a vision of where we are going without a plan for getting there would be like me looking at pictures of the Destin shoreline, but never getting in the car. Or maybe I get [...]
“The woman that I see knows who she is, where she is going, and how she is going to get there. She equips herself to finish strong on the journey of life.”
This summer we went on a vacation to Destin with another family, and we had to take two cars. The guys rode in one car [...]
“The woman that I see knows who she is, where she is going, and how she is going to get there. She equips herself to finish strong on the journey of life.”
Maybe a better way to describe this woman is to say that she knows whose she is. A strong sense of identity is one [...]
As many of you know our incredible Middle School Youth Pastors, Josh and Becca Turner, had a baby girl Riley Elizabeth on February 21st 2008. Riley was born with an undiagnosed myopathy that requires a tracheotomy tube, which takes 24-hour attention, and a gastrostomy-jejunostomy tube for all her feeding and medical needs.

“The woman that I see is filled with joy and a passion for life. Even when life brings trials her way, she brings forth treasure from them.”
Ok — today is a funny day for me to be posting on this point, because it’s one of “those” days. It’s a day when I am not feeling [...]
I am often asked where I get the historical information contained in many of my messages.
I get it from lots of sources, but one of my favorites is from a gentleman named Dr. Constable on a site called Sonic Light. Dr. Constable is (or was — I think he is now deceased) a professor [...]
“The woman that I see walks in kindness, strength, and dignity and confers worth on every person she encounters.”
I think this might be one of my favorite points so far. For one thing, I think kindness rocks! When I think of kindness, I usually think of helping the poor and needy. But it’s really more [...]
Here is another blog I have been reading lately when I’m in the mood for or need of a good laugh. It’s authored by a guy named Jon Acuff up in Atlanta. It’s a blog that takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the Christian culture and allows us to step outside of the fishbowl and laugh [...]
“The Woman that I see lives generously, opening her heart to ever-increasing capacity for the kingdom of God.”
This past Sunday, Stovall talked about being generous in the One Prayer series. (Which, by the way, is going great — check out their website @ oneprayer.com to keep up with devotionals, etc.) I love the idea of a [...]
