August 28, 2024 Depth Perception
We must have spiritual vision and depth perception to see clearly. “Turn my
eyes away from gazing at vanity but revive me in Your ways” (Psalm 119:37).

August 22, 2024 Not by Bread Alone

August 15, 2024 The Consolation of Children
Nothing breathes more life into a community than the sound of young

July 17, 2024 Seeking Goodness Is Seeking Truth
Recently at dinnertime, as the family sat around the table, the question
came up, “Why do parents think more highly of their own children than
others? Does that reflect bias?” And, the implication, “If so, is that bias
. . . ok?”

July 11, 2024 The Beauty of the Red Heifer
The beauty of the red heifer was not in its life but in its death. It is
more valuable in its death than it ever was in its life. In its death it
changes forms. It does not cease its power, but it goes through a
metamorphosis from the physical body to the ashes.
