The other morning when I put my on tennis shoes I was flooded with gratitude. Weird, right? Not your typical response. But it was a moment of triumph for me and here’s why…I broke my foot earlier this year. I don’t know how it happened. I just know the day it started...

We spent the days before Christmas helping my brother and his family move into a new home. Most of the heavy lifting was done before we got there, but I was glad we were able to help clean up the rental house, unpack a few boxes and clear some of the chaos out of...

It began on a Wednesday afternoon. On the way to the hospital, we stopped to visit our friends who were getting ready for mid-week service at Tree of Life Church. I figured we’d have a baby later that evening. But no, we were up all night sustained by old school...
