Read: John 15:15-17 It is my experience that humanity tends to categorize by good, better, best. And sometimes, bad. People are good athletes or bad athletes.

Read: Matthew 18:20 “How large does a group have to be to count as a gaggle?” you wonder. Geese live in gaggles. There are always lots of them. As an introvert, my gaggle wouldn’t be that large if I was a goose. In the reading from yesterday from the book of Acts, there were thousands …

Read: 2 Corinthians 3:16-18 Life brings change. Childhood memories are just that, memories. Houses are built on that plot of land that once was bare ground. The grocery store on the corner is demolished and replaced with a casino. The one lane bridge that was a shortcut to town is closed and deemed unusable. Just …
Home Sweet Home
Today I travel to Montana to visit my mom, siblings and a few of my nieces and nephews. It is interesting that, after 35 years, I still call Montana “home.” I grew up just a short drive from West Glacier, the gateway to Glacier National Park, pictured above. So what makes a place “home?” It’s …

Read: 1 Corinthians 12:22-26 One of the first adjustments a parent makes is sending their children to school. (If you decide to homeschool, the issues are different but still very real.
