Faith is living *with* the questions: Grieving with Hope
The video below from August of 2008 isn’t something I’m sharing just to draw out your emotions, even though it definitely will. I’m posting it because there is a great message here about how our faith isn’t always free of the “whys” in life.

That title is almost a cliche, it is asked and mused over so often. But just know this: God doesn’t like rotten things anymore than you; in fact, He hates them even more than we do. Clergy sexual abuse Murder Adultery Selfishness Broken families Illness Child abuse This list could go on, obviously… I don’t […]
By Tony Snow, who recently passed away
Blessings arrive in unexpected packages – in my case, cancer. Those of us with potentially fatal diseases – and there are millions in America today – find ourselves in the odd position of coping with our mortality while trying to fathom God’s will. Although it would be the height of presumption to declare with […]
My Conversion Story and How Our Marriage was Healed
Have you ever gone through bumps in your marriage? Do you know how normal you are, even if the bumps are much more like Mount Everest? You don’t hear about the ones who make it… Normally we only hear about marriages that didn’t make it, but rarely do you know when someone went through a […]
