The Spark that Started Jesus’ Ministry
Then Jesus grew up. Moments of His childhood gave glimpses into His abilities. The Father was teaching Him. Holy Spirit was working in Him. Then came the day. The day that would spark the beginnings of it all.

Vision Therapy Update
Life takes community. It takes supporting and cheering one another on. I have been so blessed with all the encouragement I’ve had from many of you along my concussion journey. Since I know there have been people praying for me, I wanted to take a moment to explain where things are at.
Looking Toward Easter
What does Easter mean to me? Why? What does it mean to you? Are you preparing your heart, mind, soul, and spirit? Has the Bible story because monotonous to you? Let’s take this month to look afresh at the hope we have in Jesus Christ.
Finding Freedom in Friendship
It was over lunch. My friend and colleague calmly pointed out “I don’t maintain relationships with anyone I can’t go deep with. I’m not interested in talking about fashion, the latest movies, or reality TV shows. I want friends with whom I can share the real stuff that’s going on inside – friends I can be transparent with.”

Making Tough Decisions
Something came up and challenged Michael and I. We were in our own little world, settled and enjoying life, when an fertility idea came up. An idea we hadn’t spoken about in a while. We had surrendered and gotten comfortable in our way of life.
The Lover of My Soul Continued
As I stepped out of the chapel at the end, everything was quiet again. I looked up and saw the multitude of stars fill the sky in a brilliant array. I was captivated in awe, as the reminder of the Indescribable talk came to mind. Evidence of God was everywhere around me. Though my heart was still struggling and I was wrestling with the Lord about so many things, He continued to break down the barriers and woo my heart for Him.
