There’s a baby hippo named Mars who did not want to get out of the pool… until his mom gave him the mom stare. And he listened. Immediately. I guess it’s universal.

I read a quote that said, “You don’t want to be the richest person in the graveyard,” and it really made me think: am I investing in things that actually matter to God?

Our neighbor’s cat climbed a tree to get a bird the other day. I got him down, but the bird he was bothering kept dive-bombing like the problem wasn’t already handled... and I realized, I do that with God too.

Have you ever been at the self-checkout when it freezes and says, "Help is on the way"? It makes me think of something Jesus promised in John 14: that He’d send the Holy Spirit to help us.

My friend Suzanne has over 50 pairs of magnetic eyeglass frames, and she keeps them all on her fridge. Yep, just walks over in the morning and picks out her glasses for the day like it’s an accessory wall. A little odd… but also kind of brilliant.
