  • Joy unspeakable

    Words: 1207 Time to read: 6 minutes If we will indeed be known by our fruits, then we should carefully observe the fruit which we should be producing. The Apostle Paul gives us a list of 9 fruits of the Spirit in Galatians 5. I understand that this is more of a cluster rather than individual… Read more

  • Capable to carry

    I was up at 3AM this morning. That’s not because I’m this amazing productivity warrior. I was up and couldn’t get back to sleep. But it reminded me of the importance of getting rest. Real rest.

Instead, they found an empty tomb that had been carefully ordered. The angel told Mary that Christ had risen… Read more

  • Yes I know I wrote this digitally…

    Other than the resentful, vapid feed on Facebook, X (or Twitter, or ‘formerly known as Twitter’ [just what are we calling it these days?!]), or wherever you consume your content, what have you read that has nourished and challenged you? Social is a wonderful megaphone that amplifies our current beliefs–does anyone really follow people they… Read more
