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.

When my boys were younger, a physical education coach taught all his students how to juggle. My middle son Christopher was especially good at it. I remember him juggling oranges and balls around the house, dropping a few, starting over, [...]
Growing up, I got it in my head that anything less than perfect was terrible. No one told me this; and it wasn't something demanded or even expected in our home. It was something I formed an opinion about on [...]
Would you agree most people view Christianity as a straight line-- going from point A (where we were found) to point B (where we are headed)? I think that was most definitely my initial view: I was lost, but now [...]
I had a sweet revelation this morning. I know the verse in 1 Peter 5:7 which says, "Casting all your cares on [the Lord], for He cares for you." But today I realized this perfectly describes my morning brain-dump with [...]
