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
An Update from Carmen
Andrew and I have so much to fill everyone in on since the end of February. First off, thank you to everyone who helped us complete our Bonfire T-Shirt fundraiser (we highly recommend this option for t-shirts). We had a blast watching the Lord provide each day as the numbers seemingly crept up each day. … Continue reading An Update from Carmen

Reflection: Pain is God’s Megaphone (+ cancer update)

Lewis once remarked on suffering in this way: "Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His … Continue reading Reflection: Pain is God’s Megaphone (+ cancer update)
