Umm…Male Parental Unit…?
Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Every child, at some point in time, tries out their parent's given name. What preschooler hasn't shouted, "Hey Brad (or John, or Bob...)" at their dad? Most of the...
1 Thessalonians 2:5-8
In his letter to the Thessalonians, Paul says, in reference to his conduct toward the church... For we never came with words of flattery, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed— God is witness. Nor did we seek glory from people, whether from you or from others,...
Healing To Your Flesh And Refreshment To Your Bones

The Joy Of The Lord
Do not grieve. For the joy of the Lord is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10b I have always loved the last part of this verse. There is a children’s song that repeats those nine words over and over. I learned it at a very young age and it’s been on random repeat...
Mad As Moses
One of the great mysteries of my life was, "After all the miraculous stuff Moses did, why did God ban him from the promised land just for striking a rock?" It kind of scared me. I mean, sure, he didn't follow directions- but maybe he forgot. He was really mad at the...
Daffodils
Finally. The daffodils are blooming and that means that we made it through winter. The warmth of sunshine filled days fills us with new hope. Just a few years ago, one day in late February, I was anticipating the end of our journey. Ethan's next bronchoscopy was in a...
