940 Saturdays
When our babies are littles, we are tricked into thinking that we have plenty of time. Looking back, it never seems like enough.
The End
It goes without saying. The sadness of today. Yet we call it Good. After coming to the cross for 44 Good Fridays, one would think I’d have heard it all. Seen it all. Felt it all. But today I felt something different. Maybe it’s because the older I get, the more deeply I feel and…
That First Week
What was it like for you? Do you remember? Have you played it over and over in your mind or have you tried to block it from your memory? No doubt you remember what yours was like. I have recounted mine. I feel like it’s seared in my memory. So many emotions. And not emotions…
Truth Be Told
Only in God’s Word can we be confident that we are getting the whole story in all truth and purity. Frequent, regular study of what God says to us strengthens us to battle the truth-distorters.

Penetrating the Darkness
From the bounties of his grace, God extends the invitation for us to draw closer to him through time spent in the Word. God eagerly awaits meeting with us around the Word.

Hope for the New Year
So many times I’ve heard, “Well, 2020 is certainly a year everyone will remember!” Or this one: “2020 is a year we’d all like to forget!” If I were to interpret these, I would say both statements mean pretty much the same thing, don’t they? This is a year unlike any other in which we…
Pondering Mary
I can’t help but wonder what it was really like for Mary to become the mother of Jesus, God incarnate. What an honor she was given!
