I would like to start this post out with a confession. I have read (or tried to read) many, many books on prayer. I have listened to many, many sermons on prayer. And for some reason most of them have, at some point, rubbed me the wrong way. I don’t know exactly what the problem is. I don’t know why …
Reclaiming Halloween
I am on the side of Tim Burton when he says that the two best holidays of the year are Christmas and Halloween. Sure, Easter is great, Thanksgiving is tasty, but for me there’s just nothing else that comes close to Christmas and Halloween. (And if you don’t believe me, stop by my house sometime. Still don’t believe me? Ask …

How to Love Democrats
I tricked you. This post isn’t really about Democrats at all. It’s about Muslims. But I couldn’t let that title pass. Also, FYI, the title could just as easily be “How to Love Republicans.” It’s not about a particular political bias at all. I just happen to know a lot more Republicans than Democrats.

Meeting Us Where We’re At
God never changes. So why does it seem like He does? Why does a God of compassion seem so bent on bloodshed? Why was He so adamant about the strict, strange rules in the Old Testament? Why did the temple become such a huge project and the center for Jewish life when God didn’t even want it in the first place? …

What do you feel like you’ve been put on this earth to do? Why aren’t you doing it? I know a lot of people who have dreams for their lives. In fact, I might know as many people who have dreams as I do people. But how many of those people are actually living — or even actively pursuing — …
Life Springs Eternal
When was the last time that you thought about death? Does it sound morbid to say that I think about it a lot? Now, sure, it’s probably natural for someone who’s been fighting cancer to think about death somewhat. After all, for many people it is a sharp slap in the face that, contrary to popular opinion, they are probably …
Wonder’s Whisper
Have you ever looked up at the night sky and thought that there had to be more? More than our tiny little lives? More than our tiny little world? More than our tiny little universe? You’re climbing a mountain trail. You reach the top of the hill and there’s a break in the trees. You look to your left, and …
Coauthoring Our Destinies
How much input do we have over our own destinies? Or, rather, how integral a part do we play in determining our little segment of the cosmic story? One man feels like he is called by God to change a nation. So he goes and, with God’s help, he does it. Did he have a choice in following the call? …
