“What have you got if you don’t have your health?” I’ve heard many people ask this over the years. The frequency seems to be increasing, as well, as the company I keep increases in age. Our fleshly bodies are falling apart the older we get, each new illness a harbinger of worse ailments to come! […]

If you could ask Jesus one question right now, what would it be? That’s a pretty neat question to ponder, isn’t it? I don’t ask it for entertainment purposes; rather, I ask it so you might gain insight into yourself. How so? Well, think about it…the question you ask will likely be regarding something you’re

Two wives meet in the woods. It’s an unremarkable day, like any other. It is, for the first wife, a day filled with sadness, anxiety, and insecurity. She goes on walks like this to try to find peace and relief from the constant, soulish agony of feeling unloved. For the second wife, it is a

“My condolences.” This seems to be the go-to statement that most people offer to those who’ve recently suffered a death in the family. We say this because it’s “safe” during what is, for many of us, an uncomfortable situation. I mean, death has such a ripple effect in the lives of loved ones that any

With power comes responsibility. We are introduced to this reality as children. We are born powerless, unable to even feed ourselves, never mind fend for and protect ourselves. We are, in the most vulnerable of ways, at the mercy of our parents. We are their responsibility from the start. God bestows a lot of responsibility

Have you ever smelled propane gas? It smells like rotten eggs. A lot of people don’t realize that, in its natural state, propane gas is odorless. This means that you could breathe it in at length and not even know it. Given that it is an asphyxiating gas (it displaces oxygen in your lungs), high
I was having an in-depth conversation with an older woman the other day about the insidiousness of worldly thinking and how entrenched we are in it. The discussion wasn’t about how terrible human beings are to each other (that was an early concession in our discussion) but rather how this world is in bondage to
