What are you chasing? Jennie Allen asks that loaded question in her Bible study Chase. When her publicist contacted and asked me to review this study, I never hesitated. I already knew I loved Jennie and her raw, honest writing, the way she shares her life, both the good and bad things, with her readers. [...]

Today’s guest is Nina in Portugal. She and her family are missionaries who hold a special place in my heart. Not many of you probably know this, but my father is Portuguese, so we had a connection from the moment we met. I did run into Nina in blogland…I’m not sure how that happened, but [...]
There is a fine line between faith and foolishness. When I was a kid, I never had a good luck charm, but I always wanted one. I was a little envious of the kid who pulled a rabbit’s foot out of his pocket on test day. I mean, that is just plain, old, cool-beans. I [...]

Today it’s all about controversy. I’m talking about church. Maybe you’ll agree with me, but it’s ok if you don’t. Please understand, this post is about “church” and “church people” in general. I’m not naming any specific denomination or peoples. I’ve never even mentioned what kind of church I attend. I think religion is something [...]

I’ll kinda feel bad when it’s all over and you’re stuck with me again. I hope you’ve been as encouraged, inspired, challenged, and motivated as I have been. I really [...]
Warning: This is a post where I get all ‘spiritual’ on you and maybe even a little bit preachy. I understand that not all of my readers believe exactly like I do and I love that. I just want to remind you that all’s free in blogland. If you don’t want to read today’s post, [...]
