What is on your mind today? What is weighing heavy on your heart? Maybe it is trouble at work. God says, “I’m here – remember I gave you that job.” Maybe it is a strained marriage. God says, ” I called you into this relationship – hold strong.” Maybe it is uncertainty about the future. [...]

When I went to bed last night there was a half gallon of milk in the refrigerator. When I got up this morning, there was an empty milk jug on the counter. Sometime between midnight and 7 am, that milk disappeared. This is the joy of having three teenage boys at home. It wouldn’t be [...]
