Five months later
I didn’t know I would leave this blog for five months. But, it makes sense, as I have been busy navigating a new job. Anyone who knows corporate America needs no other explanation. Corporate life demands focus and intensity, and leaves little room for creativity. It offers money but not spiritual riches, so I’m comfortable,…

Follow or Come?
It struck me last night that there is a difference in following and coming. I have heard those two words used to denote differences between saved (following Jesus) and unsaved (the invitation to come to Jesus). However, those two words – follow and come – are both used to describe Jesus’ disciples. Simon Peter and…

Chicken Soup Story
It’s easier to hear God’s voice and know you’re in His plan when “the planets align.” That is, when parallel, unrelated events occur simultaneously and fit together so perfectly that it had to have been orchestrated, it couldn’t just happen.

Ready or not, the Christmas mode rolls around the day after thanksgiving. It feels a little forced. Dust off the ornaments in the basement. Pull out the lights. Balsam. Berries. Red and…

Strength
It really fascinates me. For whatever reason, in the past fifteen years, I have endured multiple fractures. Two fingers, an elbow, a knee, an ankle, and most recently, a wrist. No, I am not morbidly interested in breaking bones. But the incredible fact, the amazing thing is – that the bones don’t remain broken –…

Without Faith
Faith is quite a mystery. We exercise it every day, yet it seems complicated. It is easy and straightforward, but at the same time hard to get a handle on. It’s essential to life, yet not often acknowledged. And this confusing, but simple concept just happens to be the thing that God wants from us.…
