“There are no words.” If I’ve read it once, I’ve read it a thousand times in the comments of those grieving in recent days. When an entire church of families and children is wiped out by persistent gunshots, it feels pointless to say anything. When a man is shot and killed in front of his … More When There Are No Words
About two years ago, I packed my survival kit {notebook, colored pencils, maps, and songs} and took off on a journey: choose a passage, print it out, read it over and over again for several months, use every creative means possible to learn it well and soak it up, meet weekly with friends who are … More I Dare Not Walk Alone
I’ve avoided this topic like the plague. My views on social drinking aren’t popular, and I’m not a fan of debates over non-essentials.

God is so merciful, he gave us salvation. And now, an inheritance is waiting for you, so when you’re being tested, you can at least be happy … More An Open Letter to the Persecuted Christian
People have always been surprised by me. I do this, but don’t do that. Have never done this, or don’t care to do that. Some people just don’t know how to respond.
