It's May, right? My calendar says it is "May" and the days are getting longer and the grass and flowers are growing...so, yes, it is technically spring. But, if you live in southern California, especially near the coast, there is a phenomenon called "May Gray" and even, "June Gloom." This past week, TL and I …
If you have heard any of my teachings over the past few years, then you have probably heard of my dog, Buddy. He is a Bassett hound, a real tough guy. Buddy has been raised in southern California with a life of luxury, for dogs that is. I picked him up in Trenton, TN when …

My 8th grade daughter is in Washington, D.C. this week with her class. This time last year, my son went on this same trip. I cannot help but compare the differences between them. Robby was gone for a week and I barely heard from him. It was the "out of sight, out of mind" kind …
Tonilee and I had the privilege of speaking at a women's retreat this past weekend for a church in Carlsbad, California. The retreat was held at Palomar Mountain Christian Conference Center, which was simply beautiful in scenery and atmosphere.
