Questions?
I suppose you could say that I have always had an inquisitive mind. It's the kind of mind that sought the hiding place of my Christmas presents when I was young; it's the kind of mind that would ask "Why?" about just about anything (and sometimes still do). Yet in my inquisitiveness, I have some … Continue reading Questions?
Patience
Pneumonia, predestination, perseverance and pumpernickel bread were a few suggestions I got from my friends (and I hope readers). 😉 I went with Patience for the reason that so many of us both desire it and despise it. I'm sure you've heard the old adage: "Don't pray for patience because then God will give you … Continue reading Patience
OMNI
Three “Omni” attributes of God. (Omni is a prefix, simply meaning “all” or, “Of all things, in all ways and places.”) As a human, a characteristic I assume is shared by all of those reading this post, I am well acquainted with finitude. “Nothing lasts forever” or “all good things come to an end” are … Continue reading OMNI

Or, as I gave my sales pitch to my parents (who until that point had not allowed me to own a gaming system because it would "rot my brain"...They may have been right.) it was an … Continue reading NEW

As I had the incredible opportunity to go on a second mission trip to Haiti last month, I wanted this post to be a reminder of the incredible work that God … Continue reading Missions
Legacy
"No legacy is so rich as honesty." - William Shakespeare "What will be written on your tombstone?" asked our men's small group leader at church. By asking this question, he was urging us to think about what we wanted to be remembered for... The most famous Instagram account? The most successful businessman? The greatest actress? … Continue reading Legacy
Kneel
I remember a class assignment in my undergrad when I had to attend and report on the similarities and differences of a Catholic mass, compared with a protestant church service. As I entered the "Basilica of the Immaculate Conception", why do Catholic churches always get the epic church names?? I was again awe-struck by the … Continue reading Kneel
Jealousy
There was once a little girl who was given a Christmas gift. It was her only gift and it wasn't extravagant; it was a small bicycle without any extra frills or gadgets. But oh how she loved that bicycle! She would ride it to visit her neighborhood friends and she would ride it around in … Continue reading Jealousy
