We do not have to become heroes overnight.

Just a step at a time,

a life well lived... resilient.                        

I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, a world away from life today in North Carolina - in almost every way.  [for those outside America, there is about 3,000 miles…

God is FOR you.  

The question was a reasonable one: 'why go into the details about Jesus' trials? Why talk about his torturous, horrific death on the Cross? I get it--Jesus died. Can't we just move on over to the part that matters about Easter? Jesus rose from the…

Jesus was fond of praying around trees, near the water, on a hillside--maybe that's why I do, too

For Jesus, it was the longest day ever, as the day went on and on, all the way through the…
