Strength Under Control
There have been times in my life where I have had to face something I did not want to admit. Conflict is not tied to a place, it is tied to people. Family, extended family, neighbors, business, and church all carry different roles, but they all carry the same reality. At some point, there will… Read more »
April 1, 1977 — The Day I Chose to Trust

The Cross or Comparison: What Kind of Disciple Are You?

Emotions: A Gift That Must Not Lead
Emotions have been on my mind this morning, especially how quickly they can change. One thought, one piece of information, even a dream can shift everything. You can go to bed feeling secure and wake up feeling unsure, even though nothing has actually changed. That shows how much emotions are tied to circumstances. They rise… Read more »
