I’m linking up again today with 5-Minute Friday, hosted by the fabulous Lisa-Jo Baker. It’s a challenge to write for 5 minutes and 5 minutes only, solely for the sake of writing. Not for perfection. Not for impact. Not for anything but the love of writing. ...

Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything...

It wasn’t a good way to start the day. Had I pulled myself out of the bed when I first woke up, I would have had a full hour to spend in quiet reflection with Jesus. Had I gotten up then, I would have begun my day with satisfaction, knowing that my day had...

The pants I’m wearing today have a huge hole in the left pocket. I don’t know how it got there; it’s been there ever since I bought them for a dollar at a secondhand store. They’ve since become one of my favorite pairs of pants,...

I had a completely different post scheduled for you today, but something happened the other day and I’ve had to rethink some things. (Don’t worry. That will be less vague soon.) In lieu of the post I had for you, I’ve pulled a quick one from the...
