I normally like feeling conflicted at the end of a movie. I love it when the movie ends differently than I expect. I enjoy not knowing who to pull for.

MUSIC MONDAY – Maybe I’m Not Alone After All…
Everybody seems to make it look so easy, you know? It's probably the curse of social media and podcast addiction. It just seems to me that everybody has it all together...except me, of course. In my head, I understand that everybody is faking it. I mean, I realize that being an adult really means just … Continue reading MUSIC MONDAY – Maybe I’m Not Alone After All…

I can count on one hand the number of songs that have made me cry in recent years. Jon Foreman's collaboration with Relient K on Deathbed gets me.

Right now, we are learning from Paul's letter to Titus. … Continue reading RECOMMENDED RESOURCE: Identifying False Teachers

List ‘Em
I was oddly encouraged while doing my taxes the other day. (That's not a sentence you'll read too often from people in my tax bracket). I was getting ready to file my taxes via a popular do-it-yourself website and something seemed amiss. I was expecting to owe thousands of dollars to Uncle Sam, but the … Continue reading List ‘Em
