Wanting You More

One ordinary morning, fourteen months ago, our life took a drastic and unexpected turn. I had just returned from a drill weekend with my Army Reserve unit, and I remember sitting on the couch in the living room and noticing our son, Eli, walking… differently.

New Year, New You – Anchoring Your Soul in Resurrection Hope

As this year ends and a new year begins, I sit at my computer with fingers ready to type, but speechless, my brain in a fog.

Speaking and Praying Scripture

Hi Everyone, I want to share with you something that I have done on and off the last couple of years with my family. A rhythm of Speaking and Praying Scripture.
