A few years ago, I got to do something that had been on my Bucket List. My family and I went to the Grand Canyon while on a long tour out west. I was so sure that my children would be as mesmerized and in awe of it as I knew I would be. And […]
.I’ve never known that, when you do wrong, it breeds more wrong-doing. After all of the progress I’ve had, I overate early this morning and completely fell off the rails…
Many have found that having a prayer/accountability partner is a huge help on their Thin Within journey. And it only makes scriptural sense:”A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.” (Eccl. 4:12) Of course, the […]

I opened up to Joel 2:19 and saw something that I had never noticed before: “I am sending you grain, new wine, and oil – enough to satisfy you fully.” If these three things – grain, new (as opposed to old) wine, and oil – were important enough to mention in the Word, […]
Have you ever heard the saying, “If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging?” I woke up with this saying in my mind early one morning. I started to think, How was I digging in regards to food? I realized that I was sabotaging myself and digging a deeper hole that I […]
One day, I was out shopping with my youngest son of four children. Weaving our way through many aisles, we eventually found ourselves in the cereal aisle.
