Monday I came out ... I admitted I'm busy and acknowledged that many of you probably are busy also. I shared this simple prayer: Even in my busy-ness may my heart be focused on Kingdom business.

We live near both our families ... [Read More]

This series has been my invitation to you to consider there is an option. You don't have to live in the frenzy and chaos and busy our culture promotes. You can choose something different, something other ... [Read More]
