Are the headlines troubling or promise affirming?
“You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.…

Ready?
Are you ready when your ‘Stephen’ moment happens? One of my favorite people in the Bible is Stephen and the recounting of his story in Acts is so, so powerful. We don’t hear a lot about Stephen but we do know that he was one of the first deacons, and man filled with wisdom and…

There’s a Sweet, Sweet Spirit in those Places
“Some bright morning, when this life is over, I’ll fly away…” Have you ever been to a place filled with joy, hope, faith and love. A place devoid of all the World says matters? A place where genuine care, brotherhood, sisterhood and family, trumped fleeting pursuits. A place that replaced want and need with acceptance…

The Fishing Shirt
I remember the day vividly when the old guy saw me on the closeout rack. I was already reeling from the fact that no one had chosen me for the purpose that I thought I had been created. They had cut me, sewed me, assigned me a title and hung me on that rack in…
