“There is a quality of sadness that pervades all the moments of our life. It seems that there is no such thing as clear-cut pure joy but that, even in the most happy moments […]
Here is an exerpt from a very interesting article that a friend sent me. The author is commenting on the new book Captivating by Sheri Eldridge. You may have heard of her husband John Eldridge who wrote Wild at Heart, the book that made every man want to wrestle a bear. But for those men […]

A new found understanding of the necessary weave between the presence and work of Holy Spirit and […]

Tracie and I just finished watching “Good night & Good Luck.” Its a film I have been wanting to watch for a while, not just because I really like George Clooney, but because I was really interested to hear the story around the MacArthur hearings in the 50s.
A couple of very clear messages rung clear. […]
