Three months ago my outlook on life completely changed. I had no idea becoming a parent would make me reconsider so many things I held to be true. In particular, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how Jesus lived his life. On the streets. Hanging out with the rejects. [...]
This year, I will celebrate my first Mother’s Day as a Mom. As the day approaches, I can’t help but think about how lucky I am. I am healthy, loved, and my every need is provided for. But not all mothers can say the same thing. There’s the young mom [...]
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up the other; but woe to one who is alone and falls and does not have another to help. ~Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 I grew up in the church. Sunday school, [...]

It’s Wednesday evening and you’ve got a big presentation Thursday afternoon. You go to your closet to discover the outfit you want to wear is dirty. “That’s okay” you think, “I’ll just wash it.” But just after you start the load, your washing machine breaks. So you pull the load [...]
[becoming a completely committed follower of Jesus] I’ve contemplated leaving church. Numerous times. Why, you might ask? Because all too often church is not about following Christ. It’s about making people happy. All too often the leadership makes decisions based on what people will “like.” Will it make someone angry [...]
As I listened to the Easter story from the Gospel of Mark in church on Sunday, I was struck by the final words of the passage: So they went out and fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had seized them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they [...]
I can’t help but think about how hard it was to be Mary during Jesus’ last days. Here was her baby boy, all grown up, being ridiculed and accused. Bruised, beaten, and hung on a cross. What was she thinking as she watched it happen? Maybe she was remembering when [...]

Picture this. Your church fellowship hall filled to capacity. There are people everywhere. And enough food to feed hundreds – maybe even thousands. People sharing conversation with others at their table. Eating as much as they possibly can. Sounds like a typical church function, right? Now imagine this – those [...]

Read 1 John 1: 5-10 (ESV, NIV, The Message). I want to walk as a child of the light. I want to follow Jesus…In him there is no darkness at all. The night and the day are both alike. The Lamb is the light of the city of God. Shine [...]
I don’t know about you, but I love Christmas. I begin thinking about the perfect Christmas presents sometime around July. My decorations go up on Thanksgiving (but never before!) My favorite part of each day is moving our little mouse on the Advent calendar that was passed on to me [...]

Every once in a while I come across a band that knocks my socks off. You know the one … great music, incredible lyrics, and just all around good people. Recently, I came in contact with a band that does more than just knock my socks off. They aren’t just [...]
