One night several years ago, while on our way home, my young daughter wanted to know if she had to take a bath when we got home. She told me, “I don’t actually like baths. I like to be clean but I don’t like baths.” It was one of those rare moments when you actually […]
I have been going through a class called The Grace Course which is a part of the Freedom in Christ class I help lead. I have been through Freedom in Christ many times now, but a few years ago was my first time going through The Grace Course. It was and is a really great
I recently began a study of First Corinthians and have found it really speaking to me. I found especial comfort in verses 26-31 of chapter one.

While I was driving down the road one day, my daughter was talking to me and telling me about things that were on her mind when something she said really got my attention. She ended the story she had been telling me by saying, “But I guess that’s a yesterday problem.” She continued to talk

What Was Really Left Behind In That Tomb My daughter and I love the animated movie Pilgrim’s Progress. One of my favorite scenes is when the burden is finally lifted from Christian’s back and rolls into the empty tomb. It is such a beautiful picture of what happens to our burdens. As I watched it
