Writers are idea people. The skillful ones create a message that is loud and clear. You enjoy their work because you’ve learned something or felt something or gained something useful. They may have challenged your point of view or helped you understand something that wasn’t all that apparent before. Even writers who primarily set out […]
John Wesley said, “When I was young, I was sure of everything; In a few years, having been mistaken a thousand times, I was not half as sure of most things as I was before. At present, I am hardly sure of anything but what God has revealed to me.” Wesley’s quote reminds me of […]
These days it’s hard to separate fact from fiction. We’ve been fed so many fake facts, we’re not sure what to believe. Measuring the pros and cons of a decision you have to make causes your head to spin. You were once taught to be polite. You knew sharing was better than keeping all your […]
Maybe you remember singing about that little light that you were going to shine when you were just a kid. Or maybe you’ve heard little children sing that song with gusto and it always warms your heart. It turns out we’ve been singing a version of that song for nearly one hundred and fifty years. […]

It moves in like a fog that simply won’t lift. Nothing seems normal. C.S. Lewis said, “No one ever told me about the laziness of grief. […]
If you’re a believer, you’ve probably already defined God for yourself. You’re comfortable with what you know and may not even wonder if there’s anything more to learn. When J.B. Phillips wrote the book, Your God Is Too Small, he gave us a picture of putting God in a box. We define God, set our […]
The Optimist’s Creed is a whimsical saying that was printed in medieval-style art on every box of Mayflower Donuts from the 1930s to the 1970s. This personal motto of founder Adolph Levitt read: “As you ramble on through life, brother, Whatever be your goal, Keep your eye upon the doughnut, And not upon the […]
Oswald Chambers wrote, “It is not true to say that God wants to teach us something in our trials. Through every cloud He brings our way, He wants us to unlearn something.” Most of us grew up in a family culture that provided us with norms for getting along in the world. Our parents tried […]
