Their love creates a refuge for them that nothing in the outside world can penetrate. Being in love means finding that one person on this earth that knows you better than anyone else, in fact, that person knows parts of you even better than…

The Load is too Heavy Our devotion today revolves around lending a hand to an overwhelmed friend. Yes, I mean assisting others with talents and gifts God has put in us. Here is our guiding passage Matthew 11:27-30. The story below is a good example of what the passage means. Mark you, it is a real story that happened in some remote parts of Africa. Let us read together, In most remote parts…
At times it can be very hard to believe that the universe has order and that you need to experience a certain time and place. At the moment it just feels pointless and painful; a random act of cruelty. But in most cases, there is a bit of knowledge, some shred of compassion or perspective that you are meant to glean right at that moment to carry with you on your journey. Because at…
In a hospital waiting room in Dayton, Ohio, Mahler Symphony No.2 “Resurrection” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHsFIv8VA7w&t=225s) plays for a comatose patient. I had chosen this piece of music for my brother, Ryan. It was his favorite Mahler symphony. The theme of the symphony is resurrection. Like Martha from the John 11 Bible passage, my family had the faith to believe in the future resurrection of my brother’s soul but we’re wrestling with the faith that his seemingly lifeless…

Their focus and concern never seem to drift beyond their own reflection that they see in the mirror each day. Millions of dollars are spent on keeping themselves looking and feeling young and making their lives easier. Electronics are used to complete mundane…
Many years ago, I found myself sitting in a corner, licking my wounds. I had ridden the real estate bubble up and then emotionally shared its crash. I had been selling over a million a year in landscape and people were waiting weeks just to meet with me. And then suddenly I was trying to figure out how I lost it all in a matter of a few months. It took me a while…
I wanted to take a few minutes to thank you for a very special gift that and only you could have given me. I’m not sure that you recall the story of my dad’s brother Wally, and the fact that he was killed in WWII. But it was a story that each of us kids learned more from overhearing grownups talking than from a discussing with Dad. In time, as we each reached an…
It is amazing to me how my mind can play tricks on me, and how happy I am to accept the ruse without even a shred of doubt. Time slips away like sand through my fingers, but I feel the tiny grains as they trickle through my grasp. I know I feel the sand moving because I try to clasp my fingers closed more tightly to stop the sand from escaping, but it…
