When she was in 8th grade she stepped behind our cash register at Cadence Coffee on 7th and started taking orders. She learned the skills she needed to become an excellent barista and equally excellent manager at not one but two locations. When I asked her to take the manager role at Mayfly she took the role…

I saw your picture today. You were in my “memories.” You won’t remember us – but we can never forget you. You came into our life as unexpectedly as you left. I’ll never forget the night at church when your mom walked in from the streets and asked me to pray for you in her…

Disclaimer: This post is nearly three times longer than my typical posts. I’ve had several folks reach out and ask how we are doing, and haven’t really had the words to express. I know people everywhere are having to deal with the challenges of their present reality in their own unique way. Countless others have…

Daniel Fast 2020 // Day 1
For some it’s become “the thing to do” at the beginning of the year. I hesitate to make a big deal about it because I don’t want to be just another contributor to just another Christian fad. But I’ve done this enough years to know that these 21 days of prayer and fasting are significant…

Potential.
Happy New Year! I love New Years Day. It is truly a day of all things new. I am mindful today that so much potential is locked up inside the next 365 days, and I want to do everything that I can to discover each day’s potential in 2020. I want to make every day…
