THERE’S MORE TO BLACK PANTHER

In the past week, Black Panther is now at #5 for the best opening weekend of all time bringing in $202,003,951. I have now seen this movie twice, and both times I have been blown away by the depth of characters and storyline in this movie. I do not want to spoil anything for anyone …

GARBAGE TO GLORY

"What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but which is …

PRAY WITH ME

In the past couple months, we have seen the horrible impact that fires, hurricanes, and humans can have on the land we all love. Headline after headline, there are people who have lost so much. As a consumer of this knowledge, I can get into the habit of thinking that these issues are so distant …

SIX WORD STORY

Ernest Hemingway was once challenged to produce a six word story. He took his time and thought about it. Eventually, he came up with this story. Baby shoes. For sale. Never worn. In six little words, Hemingway told us a story about two people who are in love. They were in love so much that …
