Laura drove an Audi with leather seats. They were the first leather seats I had ever encountered. Laura wore all the right labels. She was everything that I was not. I was awkward, middle class, and self-conscious about how I looked in shorts. Note to my 10th-grade self, this is the best your legs ... read more
Change is Constant
Looking back, I see the last twelve months have made for one crazy year. I wrote a 20,000 word eBook, formatted it for paperback, and expanded it to a 60,000 word Bible study. I prepared and gave a 1 hour talk each week on the Bible study, for 10 weeks, to a group of 130. The last week of the ... read more

Thank you Mindy! :) Watching a sunrise is like seeing God at work in our own hearts. We start out in the dark. As time moves on and we come ... read more
Easter: The Greatest Before and After
This is my favorite Easter message. That, when circumstances look darkest, Jesus is working to bring the Light. For every "Before" in a Christian's life, God is at work to provide the "After."
