The Confidence We All Need
This morning after taking the kids to the bus stop, I intended to catch up on some reading for seminary. Instead, I took one look around and realized I needed to get the house in order. Toys were strewn about and first grade papers were taking over the kitchen table. When it was all done I breathed a sigh of relief. I function better when...
The Struggle to Live a Still Life… The Conclusion
If there is anything I can say about stillness it's that where God abides, stillness remains. Figuring out how to surrender every piece of our lives to Him gives us the hope of stillness.
