Taking a Stand
by
in ReflectionsThis year, my two oldest kids participated in a book club about doing hard things in our homeschool co-op. I had the opportunity to sit in on a discussion one week, and the question was posed: Are you taking a stand for something in your life? What does that look like? When it comes to…

The Wastefulness of God
by
in ReflectionsI saw something on a Florida beach that I can’t get out of my mind: Clear evidence of the inefficiency and wastefulness of God. It was our first day of vacation on Little Gasparilla Island, a thin sliver of land north of Fort Myers, accessible only by a passenger ferry. I was walking barefoot along…

You Are What You Eat

The Immaculate Tour Guide
by
in ReflectionsThe Mass is boring. I grew up Catholic, and when I was a kid, that’s how I felt. And I’ll admit that there have even been times as an adult when I find my mind wandering or glance down to check my watch. And yet…ever since my youth, despite my occasional lack of enthusiasm for…

The Greatest Superhero
by
in ReflectionsI was leading a Bible study with my kids and their homeschool friends recently. We were digging into the story in Matthew in which Jesus sent his Apostles out on a mission. He gave them some of his superpowers: casting out demons, healing the sick, cleansing lepers, and raising the dead. I asked the kids…
