Since I’m typing this on my iPhone, this post will be pretty short. The plane was full from Atlanta to Santo Domingo. Once we arrived, we grabbed a quick lunch at the airport and hit the road toward Gaspar Hernandez. It was about a four hour bus ride, but we got here safely. After taping Continue reading

A California woman took an old, outdated computer to a recycling center. On that same day across the country, perhaps thousands of people did the very same thing, disposing of computers that either no longer worked or were ancient (at least in computer years). So why is her action any different from the others? Well, Continue reading

This past Sunday we considered commandment number nine in the Ten Commandments: “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor” (Exodus 20:16). We went beyond false testimony in a court of law and pointed to God’s call for His people to speak with integrity. As part of the message, the question was posed: “Is Continue reading

We are not sure   We take our steps For we must go on Yet each step is filled With fear and longing For something more Something better Something brighter For light   Steps uncertain Direction unclear Strange noises And eerie shadows   We go Continue reading

As I sit here this morning enjoying my cup of coffee, internet availability, and air conditioning, I am also pondering a heavy and even somewhat disquieting question: Are we (meaning believers) too much at home here on earth?
