Sleeper
Oh God . . . We’ve been sleeping. We as in “Christians”, Your “sons & daughters,” “believers” the “faithful” ones. We. We’ve prayed for revival but we’ve fallen asleep while praying. Not knowing that You were longing for us to keep the night watch with You. The spirit is willing, but the…

critical
I was reading, recently in Numbers 12 and came across the story of Miriam and Aaron disagreeing with Moses’ choice of a wife.

My New Group
I have the coolest group of people most unlikely to ever come together in the same room at the same time that I meet with every day. Now granted we’ve only been meeting for the past three days. But I truly look forward to being part of this group every day. On January 1st…

#MCM: Check your face
I have a little routine I try to follow before I leave my house: Check my hair. Check my teeth. Check my fly. Keys. Wallet. All systems are go. But over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been made increasingly more aware of the need to check my face. I shared this thought with our…

Coffee Together: Tears
Here’s another great story, Sarah shared with me a few weeks ago while volunteering at Cadence, I love how our little coffee shop has been the setting for those “right place at the right time” moments. On Wednesday, a lady came in to buy a cup of coffee and find a safe place to…
