Sometimes when I look around, my heart is saddened by the immense need for love and the great lack of it. Too often we are guilty of looking for love in all the wrong places. When we do find it, it seems to come with an expiration date, which is always too soon. The great… Continue reading Love Thirst

The Woman and Her Tiny Umbrella
One day, while driving in the rain, I couldn't help but notice a woman walking in the street with a tiny umbrella. To be honest, she would've done better without, but as I looked into her face (expecting to see frustration or anger) I saw nothing but joy. This taught me a great lesson.

Working Enthusiastically
Often times I've found myself wondering if the things I do, these reflections included, make a difference. It's like throwing a treasure map in a bottle into the ocean and never really knowing if it will be found, but today's verse inspires us to press on. We may never see the fruits of our labor here… Continue reading Working Enthusiastically
