Play that funky music…

Wow. Did you ever have one of those days when you REALLY, truly, wholeheartedly didn’t want to be around yourself? Yeah, that was me today. Too often I cruise on auto-pilot, thinking I’m pretty much A-OK. Not excelling in the holiness department, mind you, but basically getting a “satisfactory” grade all around. And then there … [Read more…]

My heart grieves for their family, and for all those who have experienced the loss of a child. It is simply incomprehensible to me. May God grant their family peace, … [Read more…]
