It Hit me this Easter!

I went to church tonight instead of tomorrow so we could prepare dinner and relax. Honestly, I’m glad we did. It’s Easter, and I hope people understand what that truly means. It’s not about a bunny; it’s about something far bigger. Tonight’s message touched me deeply. Worship was powerful. And I kept thinking… Why would someone perfect die for me? For all of us? He took on sin He didn’t have to carry, and here I am—waking up every day, probably messing up without even realizing it. That’s been with me. I’m trying to change that. I want to be more aware of what I say and how I say it. I want to speak with encouragement. I want to lead better. Not just say I have faith but live it out. I aim to be a better husband, a better father, a better grandfather. Someone my family can look at and say, “He believes in God, and he lives it.” And not just for them—also for my friends, coworkers, even strangers. Respect and encouragement go a long way. They build relationships, and relationships build trust. And trust—especially faith—is hard. You can’t see it or touch it. That’s where faith

Feelings vs. Values – When I Follow My Feelings… Everything Falls Apart

What Happens When I Follow My Feelings Instead of God? I’ve been making some changes in my life. Praying more. Reading my daily devotion. Actually trying to start my day with God instead of jumping straight into everything else. And I’ve noticed something… Things are different. When I take time to pray, to ask for peace, guidance, and to lift up my family, friends, and coworkers, my mindset changes. When I read my devotion, it gives me something to carry into the day. Something to think about. Something to apply. It matters. But I’ve also noticed the opposite. When I skip prayer… When I rush… When I tell myself I don’t have time… That’s when things start going off. It’s like saying: “God, I’ve got this today.” And most of the time… I don’t. ⸻ After reading If There Is No God by Dennis Prager, one idea really stuck with me: Feelings don’t define right and wrong. Values do. And that hit me. Because if I’m honest, a lot of my bad decisions don’t come from not knowing what’s right… They come from choosing how I feel over what I know. ⸻ Feelings vs Values When I act on feelings,

When I Prayed and When I Didn’t

This one is real for me. It’s about what prayer has done in my life, what my daily devotional has done for me, and how my week went from being centered on God to feeling completely off. Sunday is my reset day. I slow down, reflect on the message at church, and spend time with my kids and grandkids. It’s usually a peaceful, grounded day. Then Monday comes. I wake up early, enjoy some quiet, make my coffee, and read a little. Sometimes it’s a book, sometimes my daily devotional. I think about how it applies to my day. Then it’s time for prayer, just God and me. Asking for forgiveness, blessings, and protection over my family. Tuesday and Wednesday were the same. The week started strong. Work went well. Life felt smooth, peaceful, and manageable. Nothing perfect, just steady. Then Thursday came. I spent time with my wife, talking over coffee, going over life and everything in between. Normal, good moments. But I almost skipped my devotion and squeezed it in last minute. Then I forgot to pray before leaving and ended up praying on the way to work. Later that night, I stayed up way too long. What

If God Rested, Why Don't We?

If God Rested… Why Don’t We?

If God Rested… Why Don’t We?     I just finished reading a book called Stop in the Name of God by Charlie Kirk. I’ll be honest… some of it was hard to take in. Not because it didn’t make sense, but because it made me take a hard look at my own life. I’ve followed Charlie on social media for a while. I’ve always respected how blunt and direct he is. The way he talks with young adults on college campuses is real. He doesn’t sugarcoat things, and you can tell he actually wants to help people. But this book hit differently. ⸻ Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 2:2–3 By the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on the seventh day He rested… And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy. ⸻ We live in a busy world. There’s always something to do. Most days it feels like there’s not enough time to get it all done… and definitely no time to rest. But God rested. Let that sink in. If God rested from His work, then what makes us think we don’t

Faith in Real Life, and I Don’t Have it All Figured Out!

Faith Complete trust or confidence in someone or something. Strong belief in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual conviction rather than proof. ⸻ So here’s my story about faith. First of all, I’m a sinner. I put the definition of faith above because that’s what it is at its core. But actually living it out? That’s a whole different story. I’m a father, a grandfather, and a husband. I’ve been through a lot of trials in my life. Somewhere along the way, I felt like I needed to start writing about it. Not because I have it all figured out, but because I don’t. This blog is about faith in everyday life. The struggles. The failures. The moments where I get it right, and the many times I don’t. My name is Mike, and I’m just trying to walk this out. Maybe by sharing my story, it helps someone else with theirs. Because the truth is, faith means trusting in something you don’t see. Sounds simple… until life gets busy. Work, stress, family, responsibilities. Everything piles up, and before you know it, faith gets pushed to the side. I say “trust God”… but if I’m being honest, my
