What a bummer! My Bills are out of the playoff picture (AGAIN) so I was trying (even though I don’t really care) to find another team to root for… The first weekend, I thought I would root for Seattle, since we have friends there, like the city, and they were a long shot. I like…

While talking with a friend tonight, I think I realized anew a trait of humanity that does not really mirror our Father. It is not on the surface a bad thing, quite the opposite. But I always wonder when our ways are very clearly not His… perhaps we should take a look at our “ways”?…

I was thinking this morning about death. Not sure why. Actually, I think I was thinking about the future for some reason… when I would be in my 50s, 60s, even 70s. And all of the interesting parts of life that might inhabit that season of life. And then I just realized… there’s no guarantee…

There is a bunch of talk in the NT about dying to yourself, or being crucified with Christ, or losing your life to gain it, or dying to the world… all very cryptic, esoteric phrases that can seem too mystical to have any real value. We drove all day today, and listened to a bunch…

“Just trust me!” A phrase that is usually first met with MORE skepticism than was first present in the trustee. When you hear the phrase, “Just trust me”, it usually makes you wonder if you should. We are, by nature, not trusting. It certainly feels like we have a tighter grasp on what is best…

There are many seasons in life. They exist for a time. Some are extremely hard, challenging, not at all pleasant to traverse. Some are so amazingly joyous, you wish they could never end. And still they pass. Today, we witnessed the end of a season. A season full of hope and excitement and great joy…
