Trusting in Christ one day at a time.
My cell phone’s camera recently stopped focusing. As someone who stops every 5 minutes to snap a shot of something I think is photo-worthy, this has been quite frustrating for me. With great frequency I find myself stopping to pull out my phone only to remember that the picture will turn out blurry no matter […]
This past week I have been studying rocks and soil with one of my online students from China. We learned about topsoil, subsoil, and bedrock. And spent some time talking about why topsoil is so important for plants to grow. Did you know that the uppermost layer of the topsoil is called ‘humus’ and it […]
I never really considered myself a rebel. My first and only trip to the principal’s office was in my pre-school days; caught red-handed running through the pitch black sanctuary to watch my light up shoes shine bright into the darkness. That one trip to see the pre-school director was enough to keep me in line […]

One day there was a man who went out for a walk in his field. He carried with him a bag of seeds and as he walked he began to toss them out along his path and all around it letting the seeds fall where they may. Some of the seeds were eaten by birds […]
What should I do when reading the Bible just feels…boring?
“Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.” ~Psalm 42:11 Today has been a hard day. I have been tempted to speak. Have written, erased, and rewritten responses to posts on social media. […]
It’s been over a week since I have had any real human interaction. And let me tell you, I am NOT loving it. Yesterday things got a little better when I ventured out of my house to pay my internet bill at the little automatic kiosk. Never have I felt such solidarity just from knowing […]
I still remember the fellowship hall where we met Monday-Friday. This one large room was converted into 2-3 classrooms during the week so that our small Christian school could teach its students there. Every day I looked forward to that class. I had learned about the Bible my whole life, but Coach had a way […]
