Jesus to the Trick-or-Treaters 

Halloween is likely the one night a year that strangers visit our homes expecting kindness. How do we embrace the opportunity?    First, let us conquer the elephant about the subject.  I’ll share my own experience first, friends.   My mom is a woman full of joy.  My childhood was one that focused on the […]

Wherever Christmas Carols are Sung

Wherever Christmas Carols are Sung

Seven minivans roll through the streets of our town and I can’t help but think to myself that something bigger is happening in this moment. This is something more meaningful than my love of Christmas music. This is bigger than my affinity for seasonal nostalgia, as real as that may be. What I believe, deep […]

A Letter to Those Who Teach: Your Classroom is a Mission Field

A Letter to Those Who Teach: Your Classroom is a Mission Field

In my earliest days as a classroom teacher, I adopted some retro Point Of Grace lyrics as my daily mantra.  I was driven by the words and the catchy little tune from my childhood as I focused on the second graders that I’d been entrusted with.  I kid you not.  I would facilitate learning experiences […]

Jesus in the Grocery Store: 5 Simple Ways to Spread Joy while Buying Eggs and Bread

Every person around us each day is a living, breathing, soul created by our Heavenly Father. So many times, we miss truly seeing people.  Everyone wants to be known and loved.  Praise God that He knows us by the hairs on our heads and even calls the stars by name.  Perhaps you and I know […]

Did I Ever Tell You about the Man who Offered Me a Piece of Pie: A Lesson on Lovingkindness

Did I Ever Tell You about the Man who Offered Me a Piece of Pie: A Lesson on Lovingkindness 

One of the wisest men I’ve ever known is walking with Jesus today. Of that, I am certain. For the past 10 years, I’ve taken every opportunity to learn from this much-loved, retired pastor, a patriarch in the family God chose as my second group of people. I spent many afternoons or evenings asking him […]
