Our family usually sponsors a couple of foster kids for Christmas. Sometimes, kids don’t have enough people standing with them. In our context, those in our foster care system can be considered modern day orphans. Not only is taking care of orphans biblical (James 1:27), loving on them in their distress and time of need…

“Abby, what was your favorite Christmas present of all time?” That was the question I had for my middle daughter as she walked through the living room one night. With no hesitation, she said, “My Barbie Dreamhouse!” Instantly, vivid memories flooded my mind of shopping for the Barbie Dreamhouse, purchasing the huge toy, and assembling…

I will never forget all three times my wife found out she was pregnant and told me the great news. How exciting! The children we had hoped and prayed for had been conceived and begun to grow – human life had formed – what a miracle! Like you, I’ve received expectant and birth announcements. I’ve…

Backbiting, complaining, murmuring, anger, bitterness, rage, offense…all things that have no place in anyone’s life, especially a disciple of Jesus.

Food is a critical element in life. It energizes, sustains, and satisfies our hunger. From snacks to three-square…

Donuts are a universal sign of friendship, at least I think so. They can break down walls of division, create fast friendships, and strengthen good relationships. Well, they may not be miracle workers, but a good éclair sugar high can do wonders. I’ve given donuts to road construction workers, random businesses, schools, and yes, even…

This morning in church, I was challenged with Hebrews 12:1-2: “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.
