Plumbers stop leaks and keep the water running. Carpenters build cabinets and fix the roof. Electricians wire the house and keep the lights on. And dreamers dream. If it sounds like the dreamer’s job isn’t very important, you’re forgetting that plumbers, carpenters, and electricians can all be dreamers. In fact, the best ones…the most successful ones…are the best dreamers. After all…no carpenter ever built … Read the rest…

I Am A Stranger in the Earth
Daily this “earthen vessel” challenges me to a duel. And daily it reminds me why I am a stranger in this earth. But that’s OK because I’m not alone in this journey. And I’m not without power.

The One Who Lifts Up My Head

Do you actually trust that He sent His Son … Read the rest…
I Have Hidden Your Word In My Heart
The Psalmist sang “I have hidden your word in my heart” to cleanse his heart. To an unbeliever it’s virtually incomprehensible to think hiding words in one’s heart could ever cleanse it.

My Hiding Place
Even the bravest warriors, fighters, and soldiers need a hiding place once in a while. A place where they can rest from their battles. A place where they can eat and fuel their minds. A place where they can rise above the noise and plan their next moves. Do you have a hiding place you can go when this world weighs heavily on your … Read the rest…
