An origin story (introducing our cat)
Origin stories capture our heart because they tell us who we really are meant to be – LOVED WITH AN EVERLASTING LOVE. So a little gray tabby crawled into our carport last September.

We are more rich than we realize
Don’t hoard treasure down here where it gets eaten by moths and corroded by rust or—worse!—stolen by burglars. Stockpile treasure in heaven, where it’s safe from moth and rust and burglars.

I recently spent the last two weeks on one of the best vacation my family has ever had and I have the pictures to prove it! Upside, no cell […]
A warriors perspective of True Intimacy
True love leads to deep intimacy. So what is the greatest picture of intimacy in marriage? Here is what I am learning recently. I’ve even prayed through this, left it, talked with Jessica, and He brought it back up again. I can’t shake it. Many Christians believe God’s greatest gift to this world is primarily […]
