A SURGE of HOPE

Good Morning, God! On a recent jog around our neighborhood, I came across a Bird of Paradise bush. I was pretty ratty, God. But, I found one beautiful bloom and took its picture. One bloom affects us. We can SEE

Marriage: Pushing and Pulling Us Toward Growth

Good Morning, God! I love this man’s voice, God! He sounds kind — compassionate and intelligent — which is a great combination for a pastor. Well, for anyone. I’ve heard some of his sermons on podcasts and enjoyed them. Then
