The Last Half Mile

I fancy myself a runner. There’s something about putting in some headphones and taking off down the street that allows me to clear my head and really focus for a few minutes.

The Depths

I don’t typically write about my personal quiet times outside of my journal but today something hit me so hard that I had to share with someone to keep myself from exploding! As I was reading from Psalm 103, I wrote down the words, “Praise Him from the depths of your soul.” At first, it…

The Indecisiveness of Children

Have you ever asked a small child what they want to be when they grow up? If not, you should try it sometime. I asked my 5 year old daughter that question and over the course of a few hours she changed professions at least 4 times. She started with a doctor. Not just any doctor mind…
