I suspect we’ve all questioned whether or not God would show up right when we need Him most, or we may even question if He is too busy to hear our prayers at all. The fact is that sometimes, you need an immediate answer to a prayer, like the one I got a number of […]
I always thought the “wonder years” were assigned to four year-olds who simply have to know “why” everything they see exists as it does. “Why does the frog jump, daddy?” “Why is your hair curly, mommy?” Back then, everything seemed like it must have a practical explanation.

Some things cause an immediate reaction. A balloon bursts, a car backfires, you smell smoke, and your nerves instantly respond. Your sensitivity to the environment can be good when it causes you to be more aware of what’s happening around you. Sometimes though, you react to people, family members, or co-workers who just seem to […]
A few years ago, I was asking God what my direction in life should be. You’ve probably done that too. After all, we like to think we came to earth with a purpose and that when we check out, we’ll have something to say for the time we’ve spent here. At least, I like to […]

The past couple years have been amazing. Who would have thought we’d volunteer to miss work, miss school, and miss our families? Who could have predicted the obstacles we’d have to overcome?
