Does anyone remember the song that went like this "give that old time religion, give me that old time religion." So I had a thought, what if that old time religion wasn't really religion, but old time faith instead?

Find the flow
I'm not sure if you've noticed a trend on my post lately, but I'm truly struggling with direction. So as my frequent readers know, I blog about what I know best, me.

Pop up prayer
Have you ever prayed for a stranger? I've always had a weak spot in my heart for people hurting physically and mentally. Even before totally allowing Christ into my heart I would find myself praying for a passing ambulance with their lights on, praying for firefighters as I pass by a station, also police who … Continue reading Pop up prayer

Power in your words
Recently I was faced with a decision to make. It was a recurring decision that most of us make without much thought. Someone said a pretty negative thing to me, and the decision to be made was; how do I react? Now, most of the time, like many others reading, I simply put the conversation … Continue reading Power in your words
Field of… what?
Lately I have had a slew of thoughts swarming my mind. Some of those thoughts are dreams, like owning a Model X Tesla ;). The thoughts that are more proactive, are the ones I would like to focus on here. These thoughts started coming around the same time I prayed my way out of depression. … Continue reading Field of… what?
