Sleepless Nights
Lamenting to God over the state of the world is a part of faith. These are hard days we are living in. You don’t need to put on a brave face. Not with God, anyway.

Thanks for Forgetting
We know that sin is not determined by age. I’ve found that sin is the immaturity of being closed to any value that does not serve self-aggrandizement.
Reliable Sources
Jesus asked the religious leaders whether a particular authority came from heaven or from humanity. It’s the first question to ask when we aren’t sure what’s right.
You Are So Special, You Know
Beautiful Grandmother God, thank you for the messengers you send our way again and again and again, to remind us of how special you have made us.
