A Thank-You Note for Grandpa’s Bearcycle

May 29, 2010 Stories

While I seem to keep heading in the direction of making a vow of poverty, God keeps supplying our every need through people we know and love (and sometimes strangers!) with exceeding abundance.

In Red Hot Pursuit

May 24, 2010 The Good Word

This morning on the way to the gym we listened to a talk by Phil Vischer, the creator of Veggie Tales. Big Idea Productions folded a few years back because of a law suit based on the allegation that Big Idea hadn’t fulfilled some verbal contract they’d made with someone. I was really sad to [...]
