That’s ridiculous!

Perhaps because worry is based on past experiences in life, right? But what if we imagined only positive thoughts instead …

Someone else’s faith and a mustard seed

It was the early 70s. The Beatles, public demonstrations and disorder (sound familiar?), gas shortage lines1, and the Vietnam war were in full swing.

WORSHIP AND RISE

On a Sunday morning in 2019, my friend Martin saw musical notes rising from the top of my head. He would pen his vision on a 3-hole punch lined paper, and later present it to me at the end of the service. Spelled in large letters in the drawing was the word WAR, an acronym …
