    Aging with Grace, Grit, and a Side of Medicare

    I Turn 65 Today I half-hoped for a divine upgrade. Maybe the ability to remember where I left my phone or all my passwords without a spreadsheet. Instead, I woke up with an aching back, a rogue chin hair, and an odd excitement about senior discounts and Medicare. How do…

    47 Years: Love and the Long Road of Grace

    “Let love and faithfulness never leave you… write them on the tablet of your heart.” -Proverbs 3:3 Forty-seven years ago today, I walked down the church aisle on my father’s arm, heart pounding, eyes fixed on the curly-haired, blue-eyed man standing at the front. The sanctuary adorned with the colors of…

    We live in an age of constant content. Books, blogs, podcasts, devotionals, and social media flood us with Christian teaching faster than we can absorb. While many of these voices offer encouragement and insight, it’s easy to mistake knowing a teacher for knowing the Word, and that’s a costly confusion. Too often, we follow…
