one thing Christians have that other people don’t {day 28 :: hope}
I realise this post has the potential to spark a measure of controversy, though that's certainly not my intention. Here are some questions for you: What makes Christians different from those who don't love Jesus? What do they have that non-Christians don't possess?...
the power of perhaps {day 27 :: perhaps}
Perhaps is a loaded word. A powerful word. Not powerful in its punch, but rather its quiet presence. Powerful in the way it is trailed by an invisible ellipsis and a lingering question mark. Perhaps is powerful in the way it commands attention from the future. It's...
in case you forgot … {day 26 :: whisper}
I lean in close as I tuck him into his bed at night. Cupping my hand to his ear, I whisper into the darkness, "I have a secret." I feel his eight-year-old frame perk up with interest. "What?" he whispers back. "I love you." "Mo-ommm! That's not a secret!" he...
what imprint do you want your life to leave? {day 25 :: crash}

what do you value most? {day 22 :: value}
We find them hidden in our disappointments. They're tucked away, often unseen, until something happens to make our hearts sink -- then they rise up. Our values. Have you ever stopped to consider what yours are? Like, really pause and intentionally consider what you...
On Seeing Our Smallness {Day 21 :: Wave}
I've told this story before. We were at the edge of the Atlantic. The mighty ocean that stretched far and away, beyond what our minds could comprehend. My three-year-old, barefoot and brazen, took several steps into the cool water every time a wave receded. Then,...
why it’s helpful to have a proper perspective {day 20 :: temporary}
If I had to name a single theme that has dominated my life in the past decade and a half, or a lesson that keeps coming to the surface, it would be this: That this life and everything in it are temporary. The only things that last are God, His Word, and heaven. The...
