Where are they? I scan the internet for hours. Researching for a blog post…. But I do not find them. Squeaky Wheels only. Sharing their opinions….while all the Christian’s have gone silent. MIA. In other words….Missing In Action. Shuffling in my seat. Discontent fills the room. Each site that I click on. Has radical views…. While […]
A Journey Toward Christ-likeness
Homeless one. I see you. Why do you wander like I used to? Greed and idolaters. Why do you seek earthly treasures…that as you chase them…they elude you? Addiction. Why do you find her?

What King Kong & Your Faith Have in Common
“You are in the hand of God,” I hear Him say. And I see myself laying prostrate. Alone. Like Ann Darrow. In the hand of King Kong. There. Above. Gripping tight. Holding on. Eyes shut.
