Seeds Of Nearness

One of my life scriptures is Psalm 73. The last verse is a favorite.

Stale, Rotten, Rancid, and Spoiled

We have lovely conversations around our dining room table. And not a small handful of odd ones. This Monday’s breakfast was no exception.

How Is Your DWELL?

As you make your way down our lane, several wooden signs are hanging from the tall cypress trees, each with a phrase from Psalm 23.

Mission Challenge

Yesterday, when I needed it most, I found a scriptural encouragement on old Mission Challenge letterhead while cleaning out a storage room on the farm where we live.

Do I have what it takes?

I was reading the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37 and was stuck by something Jesus did.

Pleasing The LORD

“Good morning, (CHURCH NAME)! We’re glad you’re here. It’s a beautiful day to worship the LORD. Would you stand and sing with us?”

Can I Tag Along?

My nephew David made the ideal, last-minute case for our family picture the night before we moved to Costa Rica two and a half years ago.

How Determined Am I?

I love words! They unlock meaning if you study them out. A word recently blew up in my face.

Become Mature And Attain The Whole Measure Of The Fullness Of Christ

Following Jesus is a HIGH calling! Not only are we to become mature, but here are two more phrases that feel exaggerated: “the whole measure” and “the fullness of Christ.”

The (He)Art And Science Of Leading

I believe our job as worship leaders is to create spaces where people can meet God.

Three Ways Out Of Fear

Stop me when this sounds familiar. I got a text from a worship director. It said, “I wanted to tell you that my wife felt ill and tested positive for COVID, so tomorrow I can’t be with you.”

I was pushing a wheelbarrow across the discipleship training school base next door on my way to pick up some dirt for our garden.
