THE GOOD DAY

One of my favorite things to do at Christmas time is read children's stories. Maybe there's more to this...

Reflecting on this last season - a season of patience - makes me realize the embrace/wrestle relationship I have with patience...

From homeless to community, from prisoner to freedom, from addiction to purpose - all because God relentlessly pursues the one He loves.

Reflecting on the change in our lives, helps us learn to embrace each season for what it offers and, in doing so, draw us into gratitude.

It's one thing to do a redesign at work or to endure a bathroom remodel, but when the redesign is your life and all are happening at once?

I'm not sure what's heavy on your heart. But, I do know we can all use more faith. What if five minutes could do just that?

Whispers are powerful. Our ears - even our hearts and minds - have a tendency to listen to these ever-so-soft voices. Who is speaking?

Sometimes, the surface is a mask. Often, there's a lot more beneath the surface if we date have the courage to look.

Never have I ever said, "I have chills." But now, I get to eat my words. Evidence of God's faithfulness brings a lot more than chills.

Having fridge rights is a beautiful thing. It means we're in. We don't have to dress nice or say the right things. It means we belong.

What's with the Christmas trees, y'all? They're not cheap. They hurt. Not easily to put up or tear down. Why do we go to all the effort?

We prepare for Christmas by lighting our roofs, trees and homes with lots and lots of lights. What's the big deal with all the lights?

Home for the Holidays - how can four little words strike such an emotional chord within us? Why does this little phrase have so much power?

Contentment and thankfulness - what can we learn from those on our on our street corners and resting behind buildings in our towns?
