If prayer is simply communicating with the Father, then it doesn’t have to look the same for everybody all the time. I communicate with people in a multitude of ways: facial expressions, text messages, phone calls, in person, and (on rare occasion these days) with a hand-written note. My prayers don’t always include a “Dear […]

Read more "Portraits of Prayer — The Doll"I’ve slacked off on my reading this summer. The year started off with a bang at a pace of about a book a week. It’s since slowed to the crawl of an illiterate Netflix binger. (I’m neither.) I blame summer… and a new job. That being said, I did read a couple of books mailed […]
Read more "Summer Reading Reviews"More and more of my friends are arriving at a season of life I entered a decade ago. Unlike other stages of life, people don’t dream of this life stage. Many dread it. It’s not stored in anyone’s hope chest or added to a bucket list. It just happens–sometimes gradually and sometimes all at once–at least […]

Read more "Book Review: A Family Apart"Jeff Goins is living the dream. He quit his day job to write and speak full time. Sure, I do part of that, but not as much as he does. And to top it off, he’s just a nice guy. I’ve never met him, but I follow him on Twitter. Tweets say a lot about a person. […]
Read more "The Art of Work"The story of Abraham and Isaac is like a movie you watch time and again because you notice something new every time. Like all the best stories, it elicits a plethora of emotions. Inspired For years, I viewed this story as inspiration. Abraham obeyed without question and went through all the actions of sacrificing what […]
Read more "Abraham and Isaac – Part 1"Well, this is awkward. I’m supposed to write a review of a book that a.) I haven’t completely finished reading and b.) has already elicited some controversial reviews. I’m not paid to write this review, but I did receive a free copy of the book in exchange for the review. (If you know me at […]
