Each week, I sit with the Lord and ask, “What do you want to say today?” My prayer is that each post, regardless of the date, speaks to you in due season.

Can you look back over your life and recall some things that you know their outcome was only because of God's grace? I can. My short list includes: When our oldest son was trapped in a burning vehicle but today [...]
It's my birthday week and I adopted this birthday scripture a few years ago: "Now also when I am old and gray-headed, O God, do not forsake me, until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come" (Psalms 71:18). When [...]
Solomon wasn't wrong. He just didn't know Christ. I woke up thinking about Ecclesiastes (a little nudge in the spirit to go read it). And in just the first few chapters, it's obvious Solomon's observations of the world and his [...]
