Daily Devotional

These words are a good reminder for all believers that even though our works contribute nothing to our salvation, good works are the proof of true [...]

License and Registration, Please

I sat in my car on the side of the road. My car was in park, my flashers were on, all my windows were down and my sweaty hands gripped the steering wheel at 10 and [...]

Leaving - Searching - Finding

I have left the only church I ever belonged to in 45 years of life. I am now actively searching for a new church [...]

Keep It Shallow

I was recently ‘de-friended’ on Facebook.

In the story of my life, I suppose it isn’t a very big deal, but I’m definitely a little saddened by it. I was de-friended by someone who I knew in high school and hadn’t seen or talked to in nearly 30 years. He didn’t like my politics or my [...]
