An Expedition in Faith, Hope, and Love

by

We started our morning tucked in the back office of a school in a community in Dhaka to spend some time together in devotions. We read 1 Corinthians 13, the “love chapter.” A passage that is read so often it is tempting to tune it out. “If I speak in the tongues of men and of […]

Unglued Giveaway

by

A couple of months ago, I blogged about Lysa TerKeurst’s book Unglued. Oh, I’ve been unglued. I am not proud to admit it, but it’s true. I’ve been unglued. I’ve been unhinged.

by

This year has been a little crazy. So crazy that I haven’t written much. But not so crazy that I can’t recap the highlights. In pictures. I have this crazy tendency to think nothing everything changes, that it all stays the same. So this recap is more for me to see that I have, in […]

Contemplating Christmas

The last 12 months might have been some of the best, and the worst, I can remember.  Back-to-back-to-back transitions, a crazy travel schedule, and reacclimating to life in Nashville has worn me out. And then yesterday, […]

For a child has been born—for us! the gift of a son—for us! He’ll take over the running of the world. His names will be: Amazing […]
