Would You Like Room for Grace?
I've discovered the fountain of youth. I'm not referring to a mythical spring that restores the physical youth of anyone who drinks from it or bathes in its waters, but I am talking about an authentic feeling of youth. Getting old is inevitable, however, feeling old is not. With the proper attitude, we can beContinue reading "Would You Like Room for Grace?"
Let’s Just Agree to Disagree
I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday about a controversial local issue in our community. We were both passionate about it, and we both had formed our narratives about it.

Play to Your Weakness
We all have strengths and weaknesses. I believe God gives us both, and therefore, I am grateful for both. It's natural to think of a strength as an asset, but what about a weakness?

Rising Early in Dark Days
It's hard not to wake up to an onslaught of negative news. Sadly, it's the norm. Traditional media and social media are ladened with hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, immorality, and impurity. These are the fruit of the Flesh. In fact, they make waking up hard to do. Contrast that with theContinue reading "Rising Early in Dark Days"
The Hunter, the Farmer, and the Camper
There once was a Hunter, Farmer, and Camper lost deep in the woods. To survive, they had to rely on each other. The Hunter said, "I'll venture out at dawn every day so that we have protein to eat.
