  • Prayer is our Go-To

    As Christians our go-to should be Prayer. When things get tuff…we should Pray. When someone is sick…Pray. When things are going good…we should Pray even more.

    Whether in our personal lives, business, health, community, Church, missions, school, or whatever we do…in ALL things we should Pray.

    I believe Prayer is the single most powerful tool we have as a Believer. God gave us access to Him, a direct line, allows us to have private conversations with Him anytime 24/7, 365 to stay connected with Him.

    We are blessed to be able to have such a personal relationship with the almighty God that anytime we want to we can talk to Him.

    In Prayer we can give thanks, ask for help, cry, scream, laugh, discuss business strategies or seek direction according to His Will not ours. We are fortunate to have such a lifeline in God that he is at our side and in our hearts all the time.

    Thank you God for giving us Prayer.

  • My Wife Prays in her Business too

    My wife has a Christian dance studio and we were discussing her upcoming recital. She began to show emotion about one dance in particular because of the power of this dance and how she feels it could connect with people struggling. She said she has prayed about this dance for a while to make sure she does it the way God wants it to be done and that she prayed for direction for this choreography.

    I love the fact that my wife trusts God. She Prays about things like I do. It’s not weird to her that I pray about everything and it’s not weird to me that she prays about everything too.

    We are both believers, equally yoked, and this makes our marriage so much deeper, stronger, and meaningful. God is at the center of our work and careers.

  • He said I didn’t find God, God found me.

    An older friend of mine got Baptized the other day and sent me his baptism video. In the video he said I didn’t find God, God found me. It was a beautiful baptism for a wonderful guy who had a rough past but God found him and is using him to help others. Prayers answered.

    Love you man and proud of your baptism and changes for the better. You are a wonderful asset to many and loved by us all.

  • Instead of Worrying we Prayed!

    My wife and I had some pretty intense business decisions to make and discussions to have in the past 24 hours. Just as we began to feel a bit of worry we said a quick Prayer in the kitchen and let it go from our hands to God’s hands. Within an hour we received a call with good news and all was well. Things worked out and as usual there was nothing to worry about…only PRAY about. God had us. We had Faith and God took care of the situation.

    Thank you God.

  • Guidance, Direction, Protection, Love, & Answers.

    Part of my daily morning prayers is me asking God for guidance, direction, protection, love, and the answers I need each day.

    Then I pray to God that I do all things according to His Will.

  • Praying Together Before Meals

    Some of my fondest memories are of family meals together. I think one of the unifying aspects of all our meals together was Prayer. Prayer brought us all together. We were all equal…all believers who were giving thanks and praying to our God for our food and time spent together at that very moment. It was peace and unity together…not just a meal.

    I still love family meals together and we pray now just as we did when I was a child. I’m proud to keep these traditions going setting wonderful examples for my children and hopefully they will for their children.

  • Where your treasure is, there your heart will be

    Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. These words invite us to examine not just what we say we value, but what truly holds our attention and devotion.

    We live in a world that constantly encourages us to gather more—more possessions, more recognition, more security. It is easy to let our hearts become attached to things that are temporary. Yet the condition of our hearts can be measured by what we pursue most earnestly and protect most carefully.

    Treasure is not limited to money or material wealth. Treasure includes our time, our energy, our thoughts, and our affections. Whatever we consistently invest in becomes the place where our hearts settle. If we invest primarily in earthly gain, our hearts will be tied to outcomes that can shift and disappear. But if we invest in what honors God—acts of compassion, generosity, obedience, and sharing the hope of Christ—our hearts become anchored in eternity.

    Our real wealth is not what we accumulate, but what we dedicate to God’s purposes. Every opportunity to do good, to encourage someone, to speak truth in love, and to reflect Christ becomes eternal treasure. These investments never diminish. They endure.

    The challenge is not whether we possess treasure, but whether our treasure aligns with eternal priorities. When we intentionally lay up treasure in heaven, our hearts follow—and in doing so, we discover a deeper peace and lasting joy.

    “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” – Luke 12:34
