The Gift of Holy Waiting
Even when waiting feels uncomfortable, Scripture shows it can become sacred space for growth. Paul’s example teaches us that God works powerfully in seasons where time seems to stand still.
Childlike Eyes at Christmastime
Through a grandson’s simple “Good morning” and love for Jesus, we’re reminded that the message of Christ is both personal and communal—drawing every generation into His joy. As we share the gift of Jesus with others, our own fellowship with Him grows deeper and our joy becomes complete.

True love doesn’t just feel—it acts, serves, and endures. When we let love lead, our words and works finally reflect the heart of Jesus.

The book of Proverbs invites us to pursue wisdom, but today I’m seeing more clearly than ever that wisdom isn’t just a concept—it’s a person. Jesus is wisdom in the flesh, and following Him is the wisest choice we can make.
Jesus Turns Upside Down Our Attitude Toward Winning and Losing
Jesus doesn’t ask for partial devotion. He calls us to pick up our cross daily—to surrender completely. That’s hard to hear in a world that tells us to protect, preserve, and profit. But in this reflection, I want to share why losing your life for Jesus is actually the best investment you’ll ever make.
Lord, Teach Us to Pray (Even with an iPad)
