My Home is Alive with the Sound of Music
For me, nothing is more beautiful than listening to my children sing. When Chris, my oldest, was two years old I caught him changing the words to the popular children’s song “itsy, bitsy, spider.” In perfect tune, he sang “I want some pancakes, pancakes, pancakes, pancakes…” I knew at that moment that he was gifted…

It’s Okay to Be Bad
Week four of Experiencing Christ Within is all about sin. The bad news it that we’re all sinners. No one is good! Not one. When God looks down from heaven, He sees us all the same. Prostitute, deacon, drug dealer, preacher. We’re all sinners. Sure, there are people who do not serve God and who…
