The Hardest Part of Every Journey

Every summer countless families plan a big road trip. Some go to the beach. Some go to Disney World. Some head out west. Some plan to spend a week or so with family. Whatever the reason, the trip is always exciting. The morning of departure, there is always excitment in the air. Everybody wants to go. Everybody […]

Brokenness Helps us to See Beauty

Part I Why do so many bad things happen in life? Why do people get hurt? Why is there poverty? Why is there hunger? Why is there disease? Why do we experience loss? Why do relationships get damaged and eventually destroyed? Why do we choose to hurt each other? Why do some kids have to […]

When Our Dreams Changed

Eight years ago my wife and I did something most hope for but few get to do. We moved into our dream home. Our dream home is built of logs and nestled on 5 wooded acres. It is beautiful and quiet.

An Important Question to Ask

Several weeks ago two men faced off to try to answer a question. The question related to the beginning of everything. The snow. The trees. The dirt. Clouds and rain. Coffee and chocolate. Ladybugs and lions. You and me. I avoid controversies and hot topics. I never find such things encouraging. They never help me […]

You Are Not…

You are not your job. You are not the money you make. Or the money you don’t have. You are not the khaki pants and white shirt they make you wear every day. You are not the new clothes you put on today. You are not the house you live in or the car you drive. […]
