Level Ground

For the past several days, my Bible reading has included the phrase “level path” more than once. That phrase has taken on new meaning lately, especially when sight is compromised. It has surfaced in reading and even in conversation. As humans, our vision is limited. We can only see...

Whatever It Takes

On December 11, 2025, before my vision crisis, I shared the following: “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” feels different when the tension is close to home. Enemy feels like a strong word when shared space no longer means shared connection. Praying for people to...

A Divine Appointment

For a long time, I did not like the verse of the day or the guided meditation idea. Sometimes that is because the verse of the day is often used out of context, effectively changing its meaning. I have the same hesitation with devotionals and meditations for that reason....

An Awkward Fit

Some nights, getting comfortable takes longer than others. Many nights when I lie down to go to sleep, my arms get in the way. They feel cold when the rest of me is warm. They seem to be in the way and out of place. I shift and adjust,...

The Empty Pew

A quiet exodus is happening in our churches, without headlines, slowly and silently. Without warning, a familiar face vanishes, leaving only an empty pew. Throughout my lifetime, the statistics have not changed. Despite the additions of youth ministry, college ministry, and entertaining activities, we are losing approximately two-thirds of...

Why did the turkey cross the road?

Driving down a country highway near the desert offers a chance to enjoy nature and find peace, unless a pair of turkeys crosses the road. I saw them on the shoulder, walking into my lane. I slowed down slightly, moving over in my lane, but one of them kept...

Making Waves with Boldness

The shock of Charlie Kirk’s assassination is felt deeply in our household. My seventeen-year-old son has an interest in both ministry and politics, making Charlie Kirk someone he admired, respected, and considered an example. Not all heroes wear capes or have star status in sports or Hollywood arenas. Some...

Unwasted Waiting

We’ve all had those home repairs that drag on longer than they should. What I didn’t expect was for our dishwasher to become a teacher of patience, frustration, and, ultimately, gratitude. It all started over a month ago. Suddenly, the dishwasher decided to run for a few minutes, then...

Caught in the Act

During their July 16 concert at Gillette Stadium, the Coldplay KissCam caught a moment that went viral within hours. The camera revealed something deeper than a kiss. A company CEO and head of HR, caught in an intimate embrace, responded with immediate shame and guilt, hiding from the camera. Both...

Teaching the Children: Independence Day

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence. This bold and risky proclamation shouted to the world that the thirteen American colonies were no longer under British rule but were “free and independent states.” Today, fireworks, parades, and cookouts will mark the day, and...
