Good afternoon... I got home late from a fun Bunko Night with friends, hence the time of this midday post. "I just read a research article today," said a friend at the party. "This study found that 68% of all cancer is random, that means only 32% can be attributed to poor lifestyle choices." Random. Wired to crave control, [...]
Good morning... She read aloud her favorite quote from this week's chapter, "...as people journeying in faith, we have committed ourselves, deep in our hearts, to trust that whatever the future holds, it will always unfold in ways that ultimately, though perhaps not immediately or visibly, lead to more and more fullness of life, for each and for all."

Good morning... This morning I prayerfully crafted an email to my twenty-two year old son. Following his graduation from GA Tech in May, he feels called to be a missionary to college students in Australia for one year.

Good morning... "The silence of God is the greatest test of our faith," says German theologian Helmut Thielicke. Yet, he continues, "The silence of God and Jesus is not of indifference.

Good morning... "Dear Santa," the sign outside the restaurant reads, "what if we are naughty and nice?" We chuckle because we relate. Then we open our Bible to read about the 'naughty and nice' war raging within us. For if I know the law but still can’t keep it, and if the power of sin within me keeps sabotaging [...]
Good morning... Once I laid eyes on the Message translation of Proverbs 2, my mind, my heart, and my soul fell deeply in love. Here is the heading above these verses: "Make Insight Your Priority." Tune your ears to the world of Wisdom; set your heart on a life of Understanding. That’s right—if you make Insight your priority, and [...]
Good morning... "An important aspect of living through change and transition is the ability to take the longer view," I read aloud these words to my class. "A fly walking across a work of art such as the Mona Lisa would have absolutely no chance of making sense of what was beneath its feet. Even we, who think we [...]

Good morning... Down every prayer avenue I knew, I immediately sent this request. "URGENT PRAYERS NEEDED: CALLING ALL PRAYER WARRIORS: Wesleyan moms have reached out to our prayer group asking for urgent prayers now and at 2:45pm today.
