We all know we’re supposed to trust God with our kids, with our precious little babies. But what does that look like when things hit home? What does that mean when living in this fallen world seems to invade the very fabric of our lives?

Part 8: Making the Head to Heart Connection
Even as a champion for reading and understanding the Bible, I understand that without absorbing today’s topic, everything else I’ve written these past weeks is meaningless. When we approach the Bible, we must come with an open, humble heart that allows the cerebral information to penetrate into our hearts. Without that, we’re reduced to academic… Continue reading Part 8: Making the Head to Heart Connection
When The Burden Is Too Much
I find there are days when it feels like the world is going to hell in a handbasket. Global pandemic, riots, political polarization, human trafficking, radical groups destroying our sense of security, people out of work and businesses forced to close their doors, friends struggling with anxiety and depression, kids in the community losing their… Continue reading When The Burden Is Too Much

Fingers paralyzed to type anything of sense. Some days it was enough to breath in and out and… Continue reading An Update and My Object Lesson
Stories of Trust: My Dream Deferred
Growing up, our church had the tradition of reading The Tale of Three Trees every Christmas. If you haven’t read it, you should. I was always drawn to the 3rd tree. In the story, the 1st and 2nd trees had more material ambitions. The first tree wanted to hold beautiful treasure; the second wanted to… Continue reading Stories of Trust: My Dream Deferred
Stories of Trust: Disrupted Plans
So far in my faith walk, God seems to present me with themes, or teaching moments, that span over several years. Hopefully that isn’t a sign I’m just a slow learner. I can remember in high school God poking at all my wounded places until I would fully surrender to Him. Giving over those false… Continue reading Stories of Trust: Disrupted Plans
