Forward Friday Recap... “Rewired: Built to Last... There's A Rewiring Job Taking Place... If We Let It"... Laser Focused 2026
Forward Friday Recaps “Rewired: Built to Last” because we don’t rewire a house because it’s worthless—we rewire it because we intend for it to keep standing and functioning for years to come. And that gives us a hopeful message: God isn’t finished with us. Sometimes He has to rewire some things in us so we can become who He intended us to be. “Rewired: Built to Last.

Forward Friday.. Birthday Week Is Coming.. Life And Death In What We Speak.. Laser Focused 2026
Birthday week is around the corner, and it has me thinking, "Am I Still Learning And Growing?" I hope that I am because thoughts cross my mind.. Things like, "Do I understand the power of the tongue and its immense ability to raise my level of life, or weaken my view on the same?" I want to speak life over my life because it really does matter what we say... Especially about ourselves.

Forward Friday Recaps Part 3 & 4: Remembering an incredible man, Hubert Mills. There is always a lot to learn from the man who came from the "Rock", Bermuda!!!! Dad was always curious. Curiosity pushed him to ask “what if?” and “why not?”. The creativity in Dad caused him not to freeze when things changed. He'd experiment, pivot, and invent new approaches instead of clinging to one rigid way of doing things. Maybe that's why he liked puzzles so much; it made challenges feel

Let’s be honest, Christmas can be hard. The pressure to get everything “just right,” the endless shopping, the weight of grief or loneliness, it can all be overwhelming.
But the beauty of the Christmas story is that it’s rooted in simplicity and stability. Jesus was born in a stable, a humble, quiet place. And yet, that very setting reminds us that real peace doesn’t come from perfect circumstances, but from His presence. Even when we feel like we’re falling apart, we can
