Today we show the videocast you’ve all been waiting for.  Holly shares that she is married to the best man (and I know him and he seems pretty great), but that still isn’t good enough. When I was in middle school I wrote an essay called, “Mr. Right.” I described my dream man as a […]

Today is our fifth videocast in our series about Radically Redemptive Relationships.  There is probably no other area in life where we experience more pain, hope, heartache, and desire . . . and I think God intended it to be that way. My prayer is that we will not be afraid to look a little […]

I haven’t written for several weeks, because I have been involved in a new project — creating phone apps!  As my son said, “Who would have thought you would be working in technology?!”  The truth is, it has been a lot of fun and a great outlet for renewed creative juices.  The mobile phone/tablet apps are […]

I don’t know about you, but I complained a lot this past week. I complained about: * my “check engine light” coming on again in my completely paid for Jeep * a long day at work where I get paid for working with the most amazing people * the doctor’s office not calling in my […]

  Last night, as I was sleeping I dreamt — marvelous error! — that I had a beehive here inside my heart. And the golden bees were making white combs and sweet honey from my old failures. Robert Antonio Machado   “How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth.” […]
