Sing aloud unto God our strength
When Cancer and Ministry Collide
This is a post I don’t know how to write. Imagine that. I’ve published six books and edited multiple books for others, and yet I don’t know how to verbalize what needs to go in a simple blog post. My mind has been running a hundred miles an hour for days on end, so give …

Growing Together
It’s spring, and that means things are beginning to grow and bloom. Some of you are already well into your growing season.
