This is another one of those stories that make me feel really small for complaining about any day to day concerns… Yet God cares about it all. If you haven’t seen this, you’ll be amazed.

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. I’ll be sharing more in future posts about my faith journey recently and some of my own struggles, but for now watch and hear how one family learned that faith is living with the questions we have, and that death doesn’t have to be the end.

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 […]
Life Changes – Five Ways They’re All the Same
This was originally written and posted for my Nutrition blog, but I thought it might be a good one to post here too… I’ve had two major “conversions” in my life (and probably other small ones too): my “food conversion” and my Christian conversion. DON’T LEAVE YET! I won’t go weird on you, but this […]
