Finding Life beyond the struggles
Darkness has come over Job in a way he doesn't understand. The attack of the enemy has thoroughly wiped out everything he had going for him.

Happy Monday! Also, happy fact, unlike last year, I remembered it was Martin Luther King Jr. Day! I can't believe it's been a whole year since I first wrote the following post, but the dream I have is still there and bears repeating. I encourage you to take a moment today to look up the...

What is our legacy? Why does it seem like all the horrible stuff in the world succeeds when so little good does?

As we get ready to ring in the New Year together, we inevitably think of two things: What happened to us this year, and What we wan't to happen next year.

Christmas Carols have really been speaking to me this year. Songs that I have heard for so many years are taking on a new meaning, and Little Drummer Boy is no exception. In this carol is the simple reflection of the Colossians 3:23. Whatever gifts we have, let us use them to honor God. Whatever... Continue Reading →
