I am so thankful that my school days are over. I still love to learn, and I desire structure in that as well, but I am happy that I get to have control over most of that. When I was in college, Calculus II was the most confusing for me. My teacher wasn’t very goodContinue reading “Problem With Math”

Don’t Get Stuck!
Lately it’s been interesting to watch as people comment only on the cost of debt free living. While it is difficult in it’s seasons, especially as an American who grew up with a multitude of comforts, it also has a “worth it” factor. We are currently experiencing the off grid solar electricity, hauling water inContinue reading “Don’t Get Stuck!”
Moving God Through Prayer
Hudson Taylor, a young man still in his teens, after answering God’s call on his life to evangelize the empire of China, wanted to know if he could move men through the power of prayer.

An American Convenience
In America, and many other parts of the world, there are many things that we use every single day that people – historically – lived their lives without.

My familyContinue reading “An American Convenience”

Becoming Good Ground
Springtime has quickly replaced fall as my favorite season, because I love to see the new life that arrives with spring. The cows calve, the goats kid, the chickens start to increase their egg production. Milk comes in freely, my wife and girls starts playing in the dirt doing ‘garden prep’, and the early vegetableContinue reading “Becoming Good Ground”
Racing… for what?

What are we racing for? what is the point of the monotony? More precisely, what is the end goal of life? There is aContinue reading “Racing… for what?”
An alter call.
You may notice the title says an alter call, and not an altar call. If you are a church going person, you might be familiar with an altar call.

What do you desire?
What is the thing that your desire more than anything else? When hungry, what always sounds good? when you want a drink, what do you reach for? If you were stuck on desert island, what would you long for? That is precisely where David is when he penned the words of Psalm 63. He isContinue reading “What do you desire?”
