So why do we look at the differences in people instead of the love that Jesus sees? He looks dirty!  That man looks scary!  I should stop and talk to her but she smells!   As humans we put value  and importance on those we love and know… more than those we don’t. For me,…

“Han”.  A Korean word for a sadness so deep that tears won’t come.  A sadness that is deep rooted in the soul.   That gives me pause.  It seems that I encounter so many people, in my daily travels, that seem to be so sad.  People who look lost and burdened by the cares of…

The sticker read: “God said it, I believe it, That settles it!!”  Simplicity.  In a world that seems to be out of control with complexity it gives my heart peace to know that we worship a God that is so simple.  Our sinful nature has produced a world full of complexity and values that are…
