All night long, the South African winds howled, and the heavy rains beat down on our roof. Our mission team was safe and secure inside of our sturdy home. Yet all throughout this wintry night, I could not stop thinking about the others that were not far from me geographically yet were experiencing a much … More SPOILED CHRISTIANITY
My family and I have been watching the gameshow that Mr. Beast from YouTube has been airing weekly. I LOVE gameshows. I LOVE watching people thrive and win fun things. Wheel of Fortune? The Price is Right? Yes, please. “Beast Games” has turned out to be both entertaining and pathetic all at once. Last week, … More “The Middle-Class Prayer”

We spend an enormous amount of time chewing on the wrong kind of stuff. And I’m not talking about what our mouths chew. I’m talking about what our minds chew on! Meditation can be defined as “serious contemplation.” The idea of meditation lends itself to the idea of a cow chewing its cud. It spits … More Chew on THIS!
“Hey!”“Hey, girl!”“What’s up?”“Good to see you!”“How are you?”“Good! How are you?” I still remember these phrases being on repeat while I was at college. Thousands of students would be switching classes, and when we passed each other on the sidewalks, these were the phrases we had time to say as we rushed on to our … More Past the Surface
We can spend an awful lot of time fearing the unknowns in life. Devoting precious time mulling over the ‘what-ifs’. We fear making it to our next paycheck – what if we can’t pay that bill or buy those groceries? We fear how our kids will turn out – what if they reject Jesus? We … More A Spirit of Fear
Sometimes, it seems as though the “joy, joy, joy, joy down in our hearts to stay” has abdicated the throne.
