The airport always reminds me of this great sermon i heard by Steven Furtick from elevation church called "Hubs and Spokes". The main point was that sometimes God needs to "send" you to a certain place until you're ready for what he has in store. I think it was in a series about waiting on... Continue Reading →
What I gained by losing my luggage
Yesterday I spent more than 10 hours traveling with three connecting flights and almost no sleep, only to find that there was no bag for me when I arrived at my home destination. Maybe this has happened to you before, maybe not, but perhaps you can still sympathize with that feeling of "....oh no...." as... Continue Reading →
6 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.1 Peter 1:6-7 Today I...

Confidence before atheism
Atheism is the denial of the existence of God. I have many friends and family who identify themselves as atheist, and I myself used to live as though it was true. This is the subject on my mind today, and being on vacation, I have let myself slip with my daily readings. Suddenly when a... Continue Reading →
A party becomes a mission field
I dreaded going out to the party last night. Back home I practically never go out at night because I have a job that requires an extremely early start time. In addition to that, I don't really care for being around large groups of people who are drinking. It's just not my favorite thing; I... Continue Reading →
