Are you finding it harder to spend time with friends who have children? You try to find other topics to talk about, but the conversation always seems to lead back their kids.

Ezra – God’s Redeeming Grace
When there was something important the Lord wanted His followers to hear in the Bible, He would repeat the word two to three times to draw attention to it.

My guess was the games. I mentioned it to him, but thankfully Michael isn’t one to crack, so he didn’t confirm if it was or not.

Life Away From Home
Over the years the meaning of the word home has really intrigued me. Is home a place, a building, the people, or something else? My years as an immigrant in Switzerland have taught me that the feeling of home isn’t the place, although places hold memories. Home is where the people we love are. Where we can be ourselves, totally relax, and be comfortable – a place of belonging.
