Kenobi and the Cross

I’m a Star Wars Fan. So, of course, the second a Kenobi episode came out, I made that a priority. We find Ben with a changed name, a forgotten past, and someone who is simply trying to survive the threat of the Empire. He hasn’t used the force or a lightsaber in a decade. No

Second Chances

I love my dog, Charlie. We adopted him from a shelter over a year ago, and man, was it a roller coaster week! When we first saw him and interacted with him, he would not come near us. It was a great challenge to get him in the car and drive him home. What made matters worse

In Your Darkest Hour

Even when hope seems slim and you are in your darkest hour, God does not forsake us, and we are never alone.

Needing a Hero

Sometimes, life doesn’t go as planned. Whether it be with our careers, our families, unforeseeable tragedies… or a global pandemic continuing to steal people’s lives and create chaos. We can’t see the future, but with a plan… life sometimes feels a bit more in control. Until it spirals out of control. What then? What do

Going for Gold

I love watching the Olympics. 206 nations come together in a series of games to compete for the bronze, silver, and gold while trying to set some world records.

In Dreams

Are you at a point in your life where you feel forgotten, abandoned, or alone? Do you feel hopeless to the point where you can’t find the light in life again? Do you feel incapable of crawling your way out? There is an answer to this sorrow, it might not be an easy answer, but

Framed

Have you ever been blamed for something you didn’t do? Or worse – something you deliberately didn’t do and goes against your entire character? Have you ever been pushed or kicked out of a job because someone lied about you? Have you ever gotten the short end of the stick in a situation where you

Heart of Prayer

Does your prayer life ever feel stuck, staid or superfluous? One chapter of the Bible gives us a recipe for how we can talk to God on a personal and genuine level.

The Story Behind Silent Night

I love singing Christmas songs. Some have gotten old, some have become annoying yet I still find myself humming, “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas,” while doing the dishes, and some are enchanting like the hymn Silent Night. The text below comes from the third stanza and has been sung to celebrate the birth of

Beyond 2020

2020. A year of a million memes, tragedies, quirks and new norms. A year that will go down in history for a global health pandemic, mass protesting, state-wide lockdowns and where masks are the new normal. An election year, nonetheless. Perhaps it will be remembered like 1776, 1912, 2001 or 1492. Perhaps 20 years from
