When love goes missing, some say “good riddance” because any excuse to cast love into the darkness works for them. After all, violence and hatred rule the day, and nobody can fix that. Some say love is just too disappointing and never lives up to their expectations, so they are better off without it anyway. […]
I was reading the story in Exodus where Moses picked 70 of his best and brightest guys to help guide the people. This is the story just before the moment when God gives Moses the Ten Commandments. Anyway, reading the story again, I realized I had never really focused on this one section. Moses takes […]
A while back, I wrote a book called The Heart-Shaped Life Devotional. The subtitle says: Choosing a life of steadfast love one day at a time. I wrote this book because we live in a harsh world that seems to have lost heart. Wherever we look, people are complex and violent, flawed at best and spiraling […]
Writers are amazing people. First of all, they know they have something to say. They know it, and they believe their thoughts are valuable, important enough to pass along to others.

In The Never-Ending Story, a fantasy civilization is being destroyed by “The Nothing.” The Nothing slowly works to deprive every living thing of imagination, thinking, or even reading a good book. The nothing creeps in like a thick, dark cloud to keep people believing more in the “Nothing” than in the “something” they still have. […]
The writer of Ecclesiastes 9:7 said this: Seize life! Eat bread with gusto, drink wine with a robust heart. Oh yes–God takes pleasure in your pleasure! (The Message) If I get to have a laugh-out-loud kind of day, relaxed, and just having fun, I never think about how important it is to God for me […]
