The Worst Thing That Could Happen
There’s a dark and scary question that many prefer to avoid yet I’ve found that its answer isn’t as terrifying as we may suspect. “What’s the worst thing that could happen?” is a thought we generally avoid addressing. Why would anyone want to think about life this side of heaven becoming worse than it already…
A Call to Befriend Faithfulness
“Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.” Psalm 37:3 Whether you are a new or seasoned reader of this blog, it should come as no surprise that I love books. Theologically rich books have been especially helpful in pointing me to Jesus and helping me see Him as…

Derek’s Dream House
Over the summer Derek and I decided that we would begin working together toward purchasing our first house. While thankful for the housing we’ve receiving in apartment living, renting leaves much to be desired. To learn more about home buying, we met with our friends who are realtors and they walked us through the process….
