It's no secret how much division exisits in this world. What started with Adam and Eve certainly still shows up everywhere today. Some will say in avoiding confrontation: "I may not agree with what you're doing, but hey, 'you be you'," and then shrug and stay quiet when maybe another viewpoint or insight into that … Continue reading To Each His Own?

Letting God “Co-Author Our Story”
A funny thing happened this afternoon as I listened to something from Father Schmitz, chaplain at the University of Minnesota Duluth. I know it's no coincidence because I really wasn't planning on listening to his homily today, but since I subscribed to Hallow at some point maybe last year, I started a daily morning routine … Continue reading Letting God “Co-Author Our Story”
Coffee With Jesus?
I've long known that God should be first. But I am a sinner who is simply starting fresh each day to make good choices (and as C.S. Lewis points out in Mere Christianity: "knowing and doing are two separate things.")! As such, it occurred to me at one point in 2024, that the first part … Continue reading Coffee With Jesus?
The Ultimate Teammate
If you've ever run in or been to a track meet, you're probably familiar with the relay team. Back in high school, my favorite event was the 800 mile relay (where 4 runners work together to run two times around the track). Even thinking back to those days, my heart swells a bit, remembering my … Continue reading The Ultimate Teammate

“Inspired By A Powerful Hope”
Today is known in Christianity as Epiphany (also known as the Feast of the Three Kings), which I recently read is taken from the Greek word "epiphaneia," meaning "manifestation." Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines manifestation as a "perceptible, outward, or visible expression." We know that the Magi were some pretty important people, and yet they set out … Continue reading “Inspired By A Powerful Hope”
Intentionality For 2024
For as long as I can remember, on New Year's Eve, I'd spend a good hour or so painstakingly compiling a long, arbitrary list of things I wanted to change in my life, titled as none other than: "New Year's Resolutions." And then, sure enough (like many folks, I suppose) found my good intentions giving … Continue reading Intentionality For 2024
