I’m really excited about this new book from friend and author Susan Meissner! I read it about a month ago, and found the story engaging, haunting and stirring me to think.

Post Conference Thoughts
I’m home three days now from the ACFW Conference in Minneapolis. This was our seventh, and thus, my seventh conference.

People were talking about the Twin Towers being hit, an airplane crash or something. While it was weird, I didn’t feel immediate alarm. Back at the office, the news was coming out. The tragedy, …

The earth warms and cools over the years. In the 1970, the concern was global cooling. I even found a Newsweek article from 1975 about it. In the ’80s, it was Acid Rain. I mean, …
Matthew 22
Jesus tells a story in Matthew 22 about a King who threw a wedding feast for His son. On the exact day, He sent out His servants to gather the invited guests. But they were busy, on their way home from work, eager to stop by the pub for a pint, or kick back at home with the remote. Disappointed, …
