What do you do when you pray for a miracle and it doesn’t come?
The machines were beeping and the numbers were jumping. My Dad lay still in SICU. He was on his way home when a rain storm rolled in on his drive home. My Dad has driven a thousand times in the rain. He’s driven thousands of miles. He’s even driven this route a...
Your Hands

A Single Challenge
"It's wicked to throw away all your other gifts because you can't have one" — Little Women On long road trips, I like to listen to audiobooks. It has become a tradition that I listen to Little Women at least once. I grew up watching the movie dozens of times. Since I...
The Four Frightful F’s

About a week ago, I got in my car and headed to the bank. On my way there, I was having a conversation in my head, half praying, half talking. “God, If you just open this door, I'll be happy. That’s all I want” Before I go on, I am ashamed to admit this, but I felt...
Demolishing & Rebuilding Our Comfort Zones
I was comfortable behind the computer responding to messages from people who wrote in. That was what I was hired to do until the opportunity to go to Africa came into the picture. I thought for sure the rest of the team would go, and I would remain back to “hold down...
You Matter
I woke up this morning only to see the headline: “Aaron Hernandez, a former NFL player, found dead in prison cell” Part of me wishes I could have visited him last night. I wish I could have asked him how he was holding up. I wish I could have listened to his...
