Imagine a place where nobody throws stones. Where everything said or done is to build up, not break down. To help, not hurt. To support, not accuse. No gossip. No mockery. No words that cut like a knife. No pointing fingers. No getting even. No eye for an eye, but giving freely, even to saveContinueContinue reading “Drop the Stone”

Two Truths. One Lie. No Sidelines.
Why the Sidelines Are No Longer an Option Boy, do I wish I knew then what I know now. The ignorance and arrogance of youth. We all learn at our own pace. But here’s what I’ve come to understand at 56 that I didn’t grasp at 16, 26, or even 46: wisdom is infinitely moreContinueContinue reading “Two Truths. One Lie. No Sidelines.”

The Golden Rule in 15 Minutes
There was a season in my life when I had everything I thought I wanted: a career that was advancing, a family I loved, a faith I claimed, and yet I walked around with a hollow feeling I couldn’t quite name.

Not On Our Watch
I’ve always been different. My entire life, it seems, I have been placed into situations and environments where I didn’t fit in. For years, I wrestled with that. Why am I always the anomaly? Why does the recognition that others seem to find with ease, the belonging, the applause, the moment in the sun, alwaysContinueContinue reading “Not On Our Watch”
I’m a Gracist and America Needs More of Us
I recently took a DNA test. I figured it would be straightforward, maybe a little Italian, maybe something surprising. My mother is 100% Syrian. My grandfather immigrated from Damascus. My father has a very Italian last name. And Ancestry.com tells me I’m 50% Levant, 19% English and Northwestern European, 16% Northern Italian, 13% Scottish, andContinueContinue reading “I’m a Gracist and America Needs More of Us”
America’s 250th Birthday: The One Gift Your Kids Actually Need
As we approach America’s 250th birthday, I find myself wrestling with a question that keeps me awake: What kind of country will my children inherit? Not the physical country, the buildings, highways, and amber waves of grain. I’m talking about something deeper. The idea of America. The soul of this nation that millions have diedContinueContinue reading “America’s 250th Birthday: The One Gift Your Kids Actually Need”
Risk It All
When Comfortable Christianity Isn’t Enough It’s easy to help others from the safety of our “climate-controlled” lives. We serve when it’s convenient. We give when it doesn’t stretch us too far. We pray when the need doesn’t require us to actually get involved. But here’s a question worth wrestling with: Have you ever pushed beyondContinueContinue reading “Risk It All”

“You will be compassionate like God if you ignore His established order. Don’t you want to be compassionate? Who are you to enforce boundaries?” A Follow-up to “The Ancient Lie Repackaged” (December 28, 2025).
