“It is simply diabolical, despicable, downright evil that the heart should be so misunderstood, maligned, feared, and dismissed. But there is our clue again. The war we are in would explain so great a loss. This is the last thing the Enemy wants you to know. His plan from the beginning was to assault the [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve heard this song by Relient K, but when it popped up on the iPod today, I immediately took notice. Not a lot of fancy words, but rather a simple, honest declaration to God. I know that for me, I feel like for the past few years, I haven’t given [...]
“Too often our prayers revolve around asking God to reduce the odds in our lives. We want everything in our favor. But maybe God wants to stack the odds against us so we can experience a miracle of divine proportions. Maybe faith is trusting God no matter how impossible the odds are. Maybe our impossible [...]
I was just thinking and talking with Annette last night about how much I love our youngest boy’s name: Ridge. We wanted something different, something unique, and the fact that it’s a word that also represents nature and the beauty of God’s creation – that’s just a bonus!

A verse I read on the plane Saturday — a great thought to keep me grounded (no pun intended) in my thinking about the future:

Another random thought from our plane ride last night –
