In these next four blogs, I’d like to introduce you to four people. One of them is you. We’ll call this The Four Faces At The Bridge.

It was the day before Christmas Eve and she was trying to finish up some last minute shopping at the mall. The kids tugged her towards the line to make requests from Santa. After a 25 minute wait, they were finally able to sit on his lap and tell him their dream gifts for the year. Mom smiled knowingly, as she had already wrapped most of those items. On the way out of the mall, they passed an

I took a class in seminary called Theology of Prayer. It was beneficial to explore every passage in Scripture on prayer through the semester. One of the projects for that class involved completing a week of thanksgiving and writing up a report on that week.

You will seldom see a redwood standing alone because high winds will quickly uproot one growing by itself. That’s why they grow in clusters. Their intertwining roots provide support for one another against the storms. To blow one down, the whole forest would have to uproot and tip on its s

When we lived in Wisconsin, occasionally we’d take our kids to UW basketball games. During some of the time-outs, the cheerleaders and pom-pom girls would go through the seating areas and throw little red basketballs into the stands for people to keep as souvenirs.
