Have you ever had someone in your life who loved you unconditionally, cared for you when you couldn’t, or wouldn’t care for yourself, and was loyal to a fault? They did all they could to help you become the person you were designed to be. They had their own style, their own way of showing […]
I love Shel Silverstein’s book, The Giving Tree. It’s such a wonderful reminder of what it means to give to others with your whole heart. Of course, sometimes givers imagine they give far more than they receive, but it’s possible that it only appears that way. When God sees the way you give heart first, […]
A theologian and hymnwriter named Frederick William Faber, born in 1814, said this. “Many a friendship, long, loyal, and self-sacrificing, rested at first on no thicker a foundation than a kind word.” Faber may be best known for his hymn called “Faith of Our Fathers,” but this quote resonates with us in the first blush […]

We too can live and die and live again. We too can be the sons and daughters of God. We remember that like […]
If you read news feeds on any particular day, you’ll probably be asking yourself, “Why do the “bad guys” seem to succeed in the world, while the rest of us are hanging on for dear life? It’s not easy to be confronted with continual hostility, cruelty, intolerance, and tsunami events that try to wash away […]
From my book, It’s Still Possible God may not have needed a blueprint or a rough draft to wind up with a masterpiece, but we do. We need a fresh canvas, a vision, or a great idea before we can create anything new or even if we want to polish up an old idea. […]
