One of my favorite words is "intentional." In fact, it looks like it is my unintentional (hah!) word of the year for 2018. Intentionality is the key to so many good things. Being intentional is the key to being successful, to developing and maintaining good habits, to growing healthy relationships, to becoming a better version … Continue reading Intentional Love

What Dreams Are Made Of
This morning I listened to a sermon on my favorite passage in the whole bible, Ephesians 3:14-21. It’s so good, so here it comes.

Two years ago the acapella group Pentatonix released their first Christmas album. Last year I pretty much played Mary Did You Know on repeat for the entire month of December. If you haven't heard their Christmas songs, get out from under your rock and YouTube it. Their rendition of Little Drummer Boy is the only … Continue reading My Cold and Broken Hallelujah

Usually I listen to the sermons from Apex Community Church, a church I attended for a time in college, but this morning … Continue reading Moving forward
