I have been enjoying What if Jesus was Serious by Skye Jethani. This book is a devotional level reading of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7). Jethani has a great ability to communicate profound truths through his doodles and brief reflections. I have had several experiences of being challenged in my own thinking andContinue reading “Work in Progress”

I’m Tired.
I know I’m not the first to say this, but I’m going to say it anyway. I’m tired of all of the division and anger in our country. I’m tired of people who are happy to fight with strangers on the internet, and forget that there are human beings on the other side. I’m tiredContinue reading “I’m Tired.”
Dissecting the Frog – Anjelah Johnson: Not Fancy
Anjelah Johnson is funny. If you were friends with her in real life, you would probably love listening to her share her stories. Before watching Not Fancy I had never seen or heard her stand-up. I chose this special for two reasons. 1) I didn’t want to only watch white men tell jokes. It’s good toContinue reading “Dissecting the Frog – Anjelah Johnson: Not Fancy”
Dissecting a Frog – Jim Gaffigan: Quality Time
Did Jim Gaffigan really release another special so soon? Yes. Is it good? Also yes. I don’t know how Jim Gaffigan can create so many jokes so quickly. Working with his wife Jeannie, he definitely knows his voice and his point of view. With this hour and fifteen minutes of all-new comedy, Gaffigan doesn’t veerContinue reading “Dissecting a Frog – Jim Gaffigan: Quality Time”
Simplicity
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday which marks the beginning of the Lenten season. This is a time to let go of something in order to focus our hearts and minds on Jesus as we approach Easter. I have been wrestling with how I might participate in Lent this year. The thing that keeps coming to mindContinue reading “Simplicity”
Pressure
I’ve been thinking a lot about pressure lately. Everyone faces pressure from time to time. It could be financial pressure, relational pressure, peer pressure. It seems like pressure comes in waves. We may have seasons where we feel like life is light and free and then others where it feels like everything is pressing downContinue reading “Pressure”
What a week
Wow. This past week has been a bit of whirlwind. Last Monday I discovered that my car had been burgled (I love using that word, I don’t like that I have to use it for my own experience). The thieves took my computer bag which had my laptop and my iPad. Those are two toolsContinue reading “What a week”
Faith on display
What a wonderful time to be alive! This week we celebrated yet another peaceful transfer of power in the US Elections. Christians are upset on both sides of the political spectrum. One candidate has a track record of displaying their values don’t line up with core values of Christian faith. The other has actual recordingsContinue reading “Faith on display”
Prayer for our President
Dear Mr. Trump, On November 8, 2016 you were elected by the people of the United States to serve as our next President. In the next few months you will be establishing your team and preparing for your inauguration. It is going to be a very busy and exciting time for you. I am prayingContinue reading “Prayer for our President”
Soul Care
Quiet mornings refresh my soul. I intentionally wake up early because I need some slow time. When I wake up at the last possible moment and start rushing through the morning my whole day feels rushed. But a quiet, slow morning gives me time to reflect on God’s Word, pray over my calendar for theContinue reading “Soul Care”
