This weekend, I was out at the lake and saw this little boy standing at the water’s edge, holding a rock. You could tell exactly what he wanted – to throw it as far as he could and make the biggest splash. The only problem? He was way too small to make it reach. But his dad saw what was happening, and without saying a word, he picked up a rock too.

The little boy pulled back, put all his effort into it, and tossed his rock… about two feet. But at that exact moment, his dad launched his own rock far out into the water. Huge splash. And of course, the little guy lit up – cheering, jumping, the works.

And I just stood there thinking, That’s exactly what God does for us.

Bridger is only three years old, but his great-grandma, GiGi, is calling him her hero.

Do you ever stop and really think about the power of God? I mean, the kind of power that sends fire from heaven and burns up an altar soaked in water – just to prove He alone is God.

Pastor Roger was expecting a package at his office. Pretty normal day... until he got a notification saying it had been delivered 70 miles away. That’s not just a wrong address – that’s a whole road trip.

After calling the family who received it, he decided to just drive over and get it himself. When he arrived, he met a little boy named Jonathan. Nine years old, battling stage four brain cancer, in a wheelchair and nonverbal. The package mix-up had happened because his delivery got mixed in with Jonathan’s medical supplies.

But the longer Pastor Roger talked with the family, the more he realized: maybe this wasn’t a mistake.

Windshield wipers aren’t something you think about – until they stop working in the middle of a storm.

That happened to me once, and let me tell you, sticking your head out the window in pouring rain is not a fun way to drive. I had to pull over and wait it out because something so small suddenly became really important.

Paul talks about this in Romans 12:4-5: “For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.”

Even when you feel small or unseen, you matter. God is using you in ways you may not even realize.

Easter is coming, and if you’ve seen the price of eggs lately… you might be rethinking that whole egg-dyeing tradition.

A friend found a fun alternative at Walmart - dyeable plastic eggs! They look and feel like real eggs, but they won’t crack, go bad, or make your house stink. Plus, they come with their own dye kits, and some families are even keeping them as keepsakes.

So if you’re looking for a budget-friendly, mess-free way to keep the Easter tradition alive, these might be worth checking out. And bonus... no boiled egg smell in your fridge!

Peter’s story is one of the most comforting in the Bible – not because he got everything right, but because he didn’t.

He walked on water, but then sank. He tried to defend Jesus with a sword, but Jesus corrected him. And when it mattered most, he denied even knowing Jesus – not once, but three times.

Yet, Jesus still chose him. Peter went on to perform miracles, preach boldly, and even write part of the Bible.

“God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty.” –1 Corinthians 1:27

Your failures don’t disqualify you. God still has a plan.

Most of us work 40+ hours a week, but imagine if your entire year’s worth of work fit into just 34 days.

That’s reality for Vanna White from Wheel of Fortune. She recently shared that they film a whole year’s worth of shows in just 34 days!

And get this – Vanna has been on the show for 42 years, which means she’s technically worked less than four years total. Now that is the dream job.

And to make it even better? She doesn’t even have to flip the letters anymore – she just taps the screen. Living. The. Dream.

Sometimes life just drains you – physically, emotionally, spiritually. And the more you try to push through on your own, the emptier you feel.

I got a message on my computer the other day: “Your battery can no longer provide sufficient power.” And I thought, Same, computer. Same.

When I feel that way, it’s usually because I’ve drifted from my source – too busy to pray, too tired to open my Bible. But unlike a failing battery, we were never meant to run on our own.

“Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.” –John 15:4

Stay connected. He is your strength.

If you have a smart speaker, you already know... it doesn’t always get things right.

Over the weekend, I asked Alexa to play a worship station, and she picked the Spanish version. At first, I thought, Wow, what a beautiful remix! Then I realized… nope. Just Alexa doing her thing.

Kathy said she asks Alexa for TobyMac and gets Snoop Dogg instead. And Jeremy? He requested a Ryan Stevenson song and got three times the Bart Millard credit he bargained for.

Maybe Alexa just needs a tutor. Or at least a little grace!
