I hope my words encourage you to allow Christianity permeate every facet of your life and to experience Christ deeply. If you have any topics you’d like me to write about, do let me know. I welcome suggestions! Thank you!
Love Quadrants
Over pizza at La Taverna, Daisy and I were catching up – as friends do. We danced around many topics and then briefly discussed doing uncomfortable and inconvenient things for the people we love. She likened the phenomenon to an aspect of a comfort-convenience graph and since I got the drift of what she was […]
Dealing with Deferred Hope
it wouldn’t surprise you to know I was a precocious and rambunctious child. I was good at everything and everything was good with me. The fire in my eyes was pure butane and the batteries in my back were Energizer Lithium. I was simply unstoppable.
