"He who is alone with his sin is utterly alone." Dietrich Bonhoeffer

"Rooted in the confession of Isaiah 26:8, Passion exists to glorify God by uniting...

You know that little bar at the bottom of the screen when you're watching ESPN? (FYI it's called a crawler) Not that I'm a regular ESPN viewer or anything, but with a husband who loves sports, I've noticed the bar a time or two.

Mother and Dad were standing together watching a small Congolese man who wore only a pair of shorts. He had scars all over his back and was acting out a story while he told it. He fell on the...

My niece called me in January and told me that a speech/language clinician had just resigned and the Houston Independent School District needed a replacement ASAP. The description of the job sounded wonderful. I was given an interview the following week and the employment process began. It took two weeks to complete the process and the only thing I needed t...

This quote from Mother Teresa has been on my mind alot recently. As some of you may know, I am involved in the after school community service p...

As I sat patiently waiting on the event to begin, a woman came and sat beside me on the front row commenting that her husband would be coming shortly after their son's basketball game ended. It was obvious this woman had the same excitement as I did to hear our speaker. We had both arrived a couple of hours early to claim our coveted front row seats. While w...

Do you feel like you have fallen short this week, or today, or even in the past five minutes? If you are like me, the sin in your life makes it seem like God is so far away.
