A little over twenty years ago, when I was a lot younger (and a lot thinner), I went on a canoe trip down a river a few hours from my home. Midway through the trip, we stopped for a while, parked the canoe on the riverbank and waded in the water for a while. I […]
Do you ever wonder what your purpose is? Do you ever wonder what exactly it is that God has created you for? I think this thought crosses most people’s mind at some point or another in their life. I came across a couple of verses in Acts recently that I felt were able to help

I have always thought fireplaces were beautiful and I love to watch flames dancing. I enjoy watching their flickering and dancing movement as they change shape, size, and color while they burn.
