3 Bible Studies on Our Physical Bodies
In 1 Timothy 4:8, Paul tells his protege Timothy, “For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.” I think many of us read that and write off exercise. However, Paul says that exercise has value! Paul tells the […]

Giving Thanks in the Small Things
Some days I pick up a camera and it’s a hammer. The lens is my ink, for cameras have sensor eyes, and pixels record. I slide it into a pocket, a thin point-and-shoot, and find another way to chronicle, to force the lids open; another way to receive the moment with thanks reverential. When he comes in from […]

Turkey is NOT for Thanksgiving
For some people, there is nothing that strikes fear into the heart faster than the thought of having to cook Thanksgiving dinner for the in-laws! I fear a few things, but cooking is not one of them, so even though we had just moved into our new house, I was eager to impress my relatives […]

The Beauty of New Belief
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego must have been in disbelief when they heard about the golden image on the plain of Dura. I can just hear them saying to one another, “I thought losing our homes, being kidnapped from our families, and forced into the king’s service was bad enough, and now we’re threatened with death […]

Making the Most of Carpool Conversations for Faith Talks with Your Kids
I learned early on as a parent that when they’re not picking on one another or wondering how soon we’ll get where we’re going, children are a captive audience while riding in the car. As early as age 3, Big J–our now 7-year-old–was asking very challenging questions as we drove… “What do aardvarks eat?” “What […]

A Lifestyle of Thanksgiving
When children sleep under the scraps stitched into quilts and the clock ticks too loudly through the dark hours and the spiral galaxies spin in space, I lie under the afghan by the fire and read the words of an old sermon. It is weeks later now, and the mind stores things, waiting for such a time when […]
