Sitting in my car in the parking lot of Publix, I pause and pour my heart out to the Lord. “I don’t know what to do, Lord. I really don’t. I’m angry, frustrated, hurt, and confused. I feel like lashing out. With all my being I want to fight for justice in this situation.” […]

  Happy Thanksgiving! This morning we have a blog that was written last year around the same time. In reading, we found ourselves contemplating the hard things the Lord has walked us through in 2021, while also remembering how faithful He was in 2020. Perhaps this year has been a struggle for you as well. […]

  I had grand ambitions in high school to be fluent in Spanish. All it took was a teacher telling me I had a knack for imitating words and accents, and I thought “I’m going to be bilingual.” Those ambitions were soon shattered once different tenses were introduced. As it turned out, my “knack” for […]

  Nearly four years ago I walked through the doors of Notre Dame, my eyes wide and my jaw slack in awe. To say this famous church is an incredible sight is too small a word. I couldn’t believe the immensity of the arched ceilings and when I took time to contemplate just how many […]

  There is a scribbled note written in the margins of my Bible that reminded me of a powerful message. There in my haphazard handwriting, truly illegible to anyone but me, were the words “Sin begins and ends in the garden.” I remember coming to that realization a few years ago as I was reading […]

The following blog was written by Susan Cady in 2013 and still holds true today. Please keep praying for Susan as she continues to heal and grow in strength after her stay in the hospital. Learning to love better has been a theme for me this year. The Father is reminding me of it everywhere […]

  I hit send and the text message containing the verse for the day went through. I’ve been trying to cultivate the habit of sending a daily Scripture to my boys each morning—just another way to get truth into their hearts. Fifteen or so seconds passed and I hear the ping of my phone indicating […]

  Don’t you love how the Word digs deeper every time you read it? Have you ever stared at the words on the page and thought to yourself “I know I’ve read this, but I’ve never really, truly read it”? I know I’m not the only one, for the Word is alive and active and […]

  My golden retriever, Sven, is now a year old and just as a lazy and clumsy as ever. He likes to find as many sticks as possible and rip them to shreds on the back porch. Sometimes he actually eats them, other times he pulverizes the bark into mulch. I’ve wondered if I should […]
