A Modern Day Babel
As a child, you may remember hearing the story of the tower of Babel where the people of Babylonia built a monument that reached into the sky. It was a magnificent feat; a true wonder to the world. It seemed a miracle as all the people were united in this effort and yet the Lord […]
126: Living with Intention
A good plan is key to living with intention. If you have ever struggled to find the perfect planner, you are not alone. It seems each one has wonderful features, but few truly meet all our needs. That was Sandi Lucas’ experience too. At God’s urging, she created one that met all of her needs […]

Giving Thanks in the Midst of COVID, Cancer, and Chaos
This year is going down as the worst year in many people’s lives and for good reason. It has been a year full of challenges, for sure. In fact, on the surface, it seems there are very few if any redeeming features from this year and a lot of people I know would love to […]
Commemorating Our Heros
