I’m celebrating my birthday this weekend. I don’t remember when this birth took place, but I do remember my spiritual birth—being born again changed my life. My desire, my focus, and my goals were new. I desired to pray, read, and obey the Lord. I focused on...
I recently heard a message by Dr. David Gibbs concerning worry. I have read, taught, and heard this familiar text preached throughout my Christian life, but I’m not living it now. Philippians chapter four, verses four through nine, are life-changing verses. In...
Mom and I haven’t felt well lately. I assume the cause is a virus, and Mom also had a UTI. Recovery from the virus seemed final, but then I felt terrible again. Caregiving for a dementia patient is challenging, and feeling well is a mental and spiritual battle for...

Almost 18 years ago, we brought our first son into our family. He was born to a young woman in challenging circumstances, and he needed a home. Although we were happy to take him in, we wanted it to be permanent. Adoption papers had to be signed, and we knew there...
The Potter family prayed daily for God’s will as they learned to lean toward God and trust Him.
