For much of Christendom, this coming Friday is widely known as Good Friday. Many times though, we need to pause and ask: so what exactly is good about the day itself? I mean, goodness, the entire day is the basis on which Mel Gibson’s Passion movie was made. And for whoever could watch that…Read more TGIF!

Perfect aim
Is it just me, or is our world driving us to be more and more “perfect”? I mean, we’re talking about from having perfect scores on school exams to having the perfect nose, to the perfect job, perfect life, perfect vacations, perfect homes, perfect birthday parties (go away, Pinterest.

Oh, for the love of…!
Friends, a struggle for me to grasp is the idea that God the Father, Abba, loves me. I have been able to wrestle with and come to an understanding that Jesus loves me, but I have always seen the Father differently from Jesus. You too? Anyway, thing is, I’d thought that way all my life…Read more Oh, for the love of…!
