Mustard Seed Faith Is Faith with Dirt underneath Its Fingernails.

When I look down at my hands, my fingernails look a bit too clean. — [Jesus] replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:20, NIV) I’ve been thinking about…

The Time King Hezekiah Received a Mean Email

He responds by doing something I rarely think of doing when my back is against the wall. — Imagine opening up your email and seeing a mean, nasty, threatening email.

I’m an Expert at Judging Others

A lesson from Olympic-level gymnastics. — Did you know that I’m an expert at judging Olympic-level gymnastics? I didn’t either until I started watching it yesterday afternoon. Then I started saying things like, “That landing could’ve been better,” and “He didn’t keep his wrists straight.” (I copied that one off the commentator. …

The Half Cookie Story

Sometimes the need for approval can cause us to live a life of fear. — The other day a friend and I were having a conversation about some pretty deep issues, and it brought up a memory from my middle school days. When I was in 8th grade, I would eat lunch in the cafeteria with the same kid every day. The weird thing is…

The Gospel of Jesus Intersects at Joy Ave. & Brokenness Rd.

Joy and Brokenness. These are two things to recognize and two things to hold in tension with each other. — Today’s my 38th birthday. (Insert the obligatory, “Am I really this old?!” remark.) I was thinking back on my 37th year on earth. So many good things happened. I managed to (self-) publish two books and make strides in my business. Diana and I adopted our son, Emmett, something we…

Rational Thomas

Instead of calling him Doubting Thomas, maybe we should call him Rational Thomas or Realistic Thomas. — One of the twelve disciples, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin), was not with the others when Jesus came. They told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied, “I won’t believe it unless I see the nail wounds in his hands, put my fingers into them, and place my hand…
