In church this week, the reading was about John the Baptist. The priest was talking about prophets. He told us everyone is a prophet. That’s right. Me and you. Prophets. Do you believe it?

Day 8! 30 days of Thanks! Join us!
We talked about fear and worry today in Bible study. I’m thankful for Bible study. I’m thankful for transparency and truth. I’m thankful for God’s Word that reminds me that fear and worry aren’t part of God’s agenda. Fear and worry are the old thing. Jesus is doing a new thing. I am following into

Stepping Out
I was in Chicago yesterday. We went to the Willis Tower to the Skydeck. Oh my. For those of you not from Chicago, the skydeck looks out over the city and has some really awesome plastic/glass enclosures that you can stand on and look under you and the buildings below. You feel like you are

I was just listening to the radio. The segment was about Christmas traditions. This woman was talking about how she wanted to make her traditions more meaningful so now she and her husband and three kids go out to the barn…they get one of each animal…a horse, a llama (no joke)…a chicken…and then they sit
