This week I was reading Luke 5 for my devotions and I read a story about Jesus that I had read many times before. A man with leprosy found Jesus, fell down before Jesus’ feet, and begged Jesus to heal him. “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me well!” he cried. We don’t… Read More »

I recently read an article on reuters.com entitled, Syrians Converting To Christianity. The writer told the story of Kobani, Syria, a town occupied and held for years by ISIS, but recently liberated by U.S. backed forces. Families that had been raised for generations to be Muslim, became so disillusioned by the brutality of ISIS in… Read More »

Well, I had the unexpected happen on Wednesday morning. I exited the house only to discover that my truck had a flat tire.

Countries where it is illegal to be a Christian. Cultures where people will be disowned by their family for deciding to follow Jesus.… Read More »

This past Wednesday was the first day of Spring, and man, am I ready for Spring! I would imagine most of you share that same sentiment with me. Winter is long, cold and dark. Spring is amazing, especially in cold weather areas like Ohio — because the transformation is so startling. To me, Winter is… Read More »

As I write this pondering our mutt is laying at my feet, sleeping. It is a bit surreal after the adventure she led us on a couple of weeks ago. On a Sunday night she apparently chased some deer that were in our yard a little too far and couldn’t find her way home. She… Read More »
