There is a line in a third day song about seeing someone in need and instead of helping, keeping your resource to yourself and telling that person you will pray for them. I am ashamed to admit that this is exactly what I did the other day. As I was leaving Safeway with Abby and […]

I had a lot of reflections and thoughts to share about my break from all Social Media; but because I couldn’t get on to post them, I’ve forgotten most of it.  But I did have a few bigger takeaways that really surprised me from being “unplugged” for a week.  Here’s two: 1. Social media has […]

Ephesians 3:20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.
