Pieces of Grace
Grace is the foundation of our faith and daily strength. What then, does it mean to “live in grace”?

What we know about the baby Jesus

It follows Him for 33 years, we can expectContinue reading “What we know about the baby Jesus”
Pieces of Logic
What do you know logically, that doesn’t make sense spiritually? Or vice versa. I think of faith; like wind – you can’t see it, but you CAN feel it.

Pieces of Poetry
Often quoted, but rarely interviewed, Mary Oliver is one of our greatest and most beloved poets. She’s just released a new volume, Felicity, at the age of 80. And so we’re revisiting the interview she granted us earlier this year on the wisdom of the world, the salvation of poetry, and the life behind herContinue reading “Pieces of Poetry”
Pieces of Contentment
Are we ever really content? Do we go from one thing to the next? Is our calendar perpetually filled? Do we believe that tomorrow will be better instead of focusing on what is good today? Psalm 39:5-6 My life is no longer than my hand! My whole lifetime is but a moment to you. ProudContinue reading “Pieces of Contentment”
Pieces of Childhood
If you grew up in a family that attended church every Sunday, you will recall in your childhood, having to memorize bible verses.
