Do you sometimes feel so weary. Over the brokenness of this world. That you hope and pray the Lord will return? There are days… as I try to show the love of my Savior and the patience of my King that I must hit my knees. I pray on those days for his return. For…
To hear Chris Tomlin sing about our Savior brings tears. To stand in the middle of Red Rocks in Colorado, as we embraced his music, brought even more emotion. As the concert ended, I looked at the trash left by all those that call themselves “Children of God”… I was embarrassed. As Christ followers we…
Some come. Some go. Some stay. Some wonder. Some produce love. Some cause sadness. Some bless. Some burden. God directs and summons others into our lives.
