One of the greatest temptations in this postmodern world is to complicate what was meant by our Creator to be understood simply. God is all about the basics. Since His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8, 9), He has gone out of His way to “bottom-line” things for us. The Scriptures commonly employ physical terms to convey spiritual realities...

I have the joy of praying regularly with a handful of ladies from the choir. We call ourselves The Sistahs and usually gather to pray in The Barn. (Don't ask.) Last week we were greeted with a cheery table of Bing cherries and quiche and cinnamon rolls...

It doesn't take much to amaze me. I can be driving and suddenly notice that my birthday is being displayed digitally on the car clock. (This happens to me a lot.) Happy birthday, Karen! I say to myself. Twice a day all who are living are silently acknowledged, and all who have lived are remembered...
