Letting God “Prepare” Your Wilderness Journey

How many times have we heard the Boy Scout’s motto: “Be Prepared”? Well, it’s a good thing I’m not a boy or a scout because preparation has never been my strength. My motto tends to be, “It will all work out,” and then I work like a mad-woman to make it happen. This approach frustrates … Read More

The Good News About Sin

No one needs to learn how to sin. Have I mentioned that I have the sweetest grandbabies on earth? But each and every one of them needs to be saved! One of them cries—no, screams—when mommy takes away the bottle or binky. Another one gets told “no” repeatedly—and then smiles and reaches for the forbidden object anyway. … Read More

Who Needs A Teacher?

This fall marked my husband’s first semester as interim dean, and he’s loving it. But the truth is—he’s also excited to continue teaching a few classes. Teaching is his passion. If I were to ask him, “Who needs a teacher?” he would probably say, “We all do!” And then he’d launch into how good teachers ensure … Read More
