To the Unnoticed Ones

For those of you looking around at the success of others and wonder when your lucky break will come… For those who search the Facebook images of smiling, happy people leading flawless lives, and feel small, smaller, smallest… For those who toil unseen, worrying that your work is unnoticed and unapplauded… For those aching inside […]

Our dog Pippin

  I challenged myself to try something different today. It’s far from right or perfect but I’m really happy with it. This is our ancient golden retriever Pippin.

How Work = Loving Others

This week’s Uncaged Podcast comes from 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 (NLT) “But we don’t need to write to you about the importance of loving each other, for God himself has taught you to love one another. Indeed, you already show your love for all the believers throughout Macedonia. Even so, dear brothers and sisters, we urge […]

This is the truth

  It’s a beautiful truth. And it resurrects afresh every Easter when we realize the God of the universe wore skin, trod this dusty earth, took our place on a wooden cross, sacrificed his life for us–the resurrection being a holy exclamation point of His ardent love. Rest there, dear one.

I am studying this

Loving Jesus & Hooking Up

In my recent co-authored book, The Day I Met Jesus, I retell the story of the woman caught in adultery. At the end of her story, after all the folks who understood their sin slipped away, she is left alone with the Only One who could and should condemn her. Jesus, the Perfect One, tells […]

Make this choice today

It’s true. And I’m happiest when I’m singing my gratitude rather than lamenting my lot.
