Do Somebody Good, Somebody Who Needs It
Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it’s in your power to help them. If you can help your neighbor now, don’t say, “Come back tomorrow, and then I’ll help you.” — (Proverbs 3:27–28)

He Leads Me in Paths of Righteousness
What does it really mean when God’s says He’ll lead us in “paths of righteousness?” While the image of a righteous path sounds beautiful, these paths can be treacherous and riddled with pain and even suffering.
Blessing of a Lifetime

Reflections on 2020 and the Dawn of a New Year
When I think of our family’s journey through 2020, the passage of scripture that is most imprinted upon my mind is Proverbs 22:1, “…favor is better than silver or gold.”

God is Not in the Business of Ruining Lives
God is not in the business of ruining lives, but changing lives and refining them for our good and His glory.
It’s Just a Bowl of Soup
Waiting on God can be one of life’s ultimate challenges. Could it be so bad that you would be willing to trade great blessing for just a bowl of soup?
Forgotten Grief
Grief is an odd thing. It is so suffocating, so present, so tangible. It eats up the minutes and the hours while at the same time slows everything to a crawl, like you are living in slow motion.
The Principle of Sowing and Reaping
