When I walked by the kitchen counter last night, the crickets were chirping. Yes, there are crickets on my kitchen counter. They are destined to be food for the lizard that sets next to them. Their fate is at hand, yet some of them sing. I figure they could be doing one of three things in that […]
I found this while studying for my next Haiti trip. When I read it out loud, it makes my heart do flips. Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through
Last night I dreamed I was a thief. I helped someone steal some building materials. We didn’t get caught, but I felt so guilty I was miserable. I wanted to confess, but I was afraid. It was a nightmare. Guilt was killing me . . . then I woke up. I was so relieved. The

Peace and piece can’t get along very well. If God doesn’t get your whole heart, you end up with a hole in your heart.
We received a brochure in the mail this past weekend. The catch-phrase on the front said, “Life’s too short to clean your own home.” I had to read it twice. It sounded crazy. Now it has me thinking, and I am coming up with more questions than answers. If life is too short to clean
I think I would rather be a crow than a hummingbird. Crows are smart. Hummingbirds are not. I realized this fact this past weekend, when a hummingbird flew into our garage and could not find his way back out.
