When we are young, life feels like a long highway stretching to the horizon. The tank is full, the engine is new, and the only thing we think about is the next exit sign.
We cannot wait to get there.
Nine o’clock bedtime becomes ten. Ten becomes eleven. Then comes the glorious night when the clock means nothing at all. We cannot wait to be ten, then thirteen, then sixteen. Sixteen opens the…
“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”
Those words are often attributed to Albert Einstein, but long before Einstein ever explored the mysteries of the universe, the Bible was already pointing people toward nature as a place where God’s wisdom can be seen.
Scripture tells us plainly that creation itself reveals something about its Creator.
“For since the…
“…then God relented concerning the disaster that He had planned to bring upon them; and He did not do it.”
There is something profoundly striking about this ancient verse from the story of Jonah. It presents us with an image of God that feels unexpectedly intimate, perhaps even fragile. We see a deity depicted in remarkably human terms—capable of feeling the heat of anger, devising plans for…
In times of uncertainty, when it’s easy to feel confused or overwhelmed, may we remember to draw closer to God and quietly tend the altar of our hearts where true worship begins.
“How old are you?”
A question that arrives suddenly,
like lightning in a clear sky.
If I answered with math, it would be easy:
I was born in 1988 — just do the calculation.
But when I set numbers aside,
I realize the truth is much more complex.
Since 2016, time hasn’t moved linearly for me.
It feels as if it stopped.
Suspended.
Frozen in a long stasis.
A season in which I put everything on hold
except finding myself again.
And yet — they were not useless years.
They were not empty.
They were years of reconstruction.
Of the heart. Of identity. Of the soul.
Years in which I looked at my wounds
without needing them to disappear.
Years in which I learned to stay.
To understand.
To let go.
I watched pieces of me fall away,
and others remain — truer, deeper.
It was silent work.
Profound.
At times exhausting.
But necessary.
And now, in this 2026, something feels different.
I feel rebirth.
In Christ — and through Him — I finally feel ready.
Ready to dream again.
Ready to build.
Ready to welcome projects, adventures, life changes.
I find myself in an in-between land.
I am no longer who I was.
But I am becoming who I was meant to be.
I’m approaching a birthday that isn’t just a number —
it’s a threshold.
One I’m ready to cross without fear.
Free.
Finally.
Free to try.
Free to feel everything.
So how old am I, really?
Almost 28.
Because that’s how I feel:
as if I’m standing at the door of 30
with an open heart,
with the certainty that everything is possible —
and that only now
my life is beginning to take shape.
“Not an age. A crossing”
Life does not end here and now.
There is more,
because He who is greater than us has risen.
Jesus conquered death
so that you could live with Him forever.
Christ is resurrection and life.
A quiet Easter reflection on hope, resurrection, and the promise of eternal life in Christ.
Scripture of the Day:
“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
Isaiah 7:14
I love almost every Christmas song I have heard. Well, there are some that I flat out hate. This song, “O Emmanuel,” is one of my favorites to listen to and to sing, although I have no business singing it.
I am not a singer.…
God Has Been Faithful: Finding Hope in His Steadfast Love
God has been faithful through every season, every prayer, and every waiting moment. When you look back, His hand is clear. Read and be reminded…
A weathered tombstone engraved with “America,” symbolizing fading ideals.
Will Rogers once said, “If America ever passes out as a great nation, we ought to put on our tombstone: America died from a delusion she had Moral Leadership.”
It is a haunting statement, made nearly a century ago, yet it feels more prophetic today than ever. Rogers had a way of cutting through the noise and saying the…
“You are the light of the world…” — Matthew 5:14
In a world where deception is often normalized, minimized, or justified, we must pause and remember:
A lie—big or small—is still a sin.
It isn’t the size of the lie that matters to God. It’s the breach in truth, the compromise of integrity, and the injury to the soul.
🐍 Lies in the Bible: From the Garden to the Wilderness
From the very…
Bleeding Ink, Burning Truth
📖 Bible Verse of the Day
John 8:12 (KJV)
“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
💡 Reflection: The Light That Breaks the Darkness
Jesus didn’t say He would give us light — He said He IS the light. That changes everything.
In a world dimmed by…
Recently, Texas was hit with devastating flash floods. In one county alone, more than 100 lives were lost. It’s heartbreaking. And in the days that followed, the headlines turned to blame, pointing fingers because the county had turned down funding for an emergency warning system. Would it have saved lives? Maybe. Maybe not. I don’t know. And that’s not really the question I want to wrestle…
When the Waters Rise: Finding Beauty in the Midst of Tragedy
They say music heals, but sometimes… it haunts too.
I recently started watching Season 5 of Glee again—a show I always enjoyed for its boldness, its emotional moments, and its joy in being different. I had forgotten that this was the season when the show faced the loss of Finn Hudson.
In case you don’t remember, Cory Monteith—the actor who played Finn—died of an accidental overdose in 2013. He…
