Let it Rain
I love when it rains. I love the sound of the rain as it lands on the leaves in the woods that surround our house. I love that rain often changes plans for the day. I love to walk in the rain and smell the new freshness of land washed clean. I awoke last night…

No Comparison
Stop comparing an Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient God to a human being. I am so taken aback at the proliferation of posts comparing the trial and conviction of Jesus to the trial and conviction of Donald Trump. To be clear, I am a Jesus freak, sold out in love to the giver of all life, all…

A New Day

What Next?
“With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand. He did not say anything to them without using a parable. But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything.” James 4:33-34 When I was a little boy I recall laying with my dad and looking…
