Bigger Picture
Work can make us weary at times, but then again, so can life. We can get run down by the mundane and begin to question our contributions. We might wonder if what we do truly adds value, or if we're just wasting our time. Perhaps we don't feel valued, or appreciated and this only fuels …
“Running Kind”
I appreciate various styles of music, and when it comes to country music, one of my favorite artists remains, Merle Haggard. I truly respect singer-song writers, and many of his lyrics highlight the restlessness my soul once endured. I too, felt like I was on the run with a "rambling fever" to pursue things that …

For example, the pursuit for more is a major consumption of time and energy for many. For others, simply dealing with the stresses of life drains …
Born To Be…
There's an older Disney cartoon that remains one of our family's favorites. It's about a lion cub that is raised by sheep due to a mishap by the "stork" baby delivery service. As a result, the lion grows up thinking he's a sheep, until one day a ravenous wolf attacks the flock and drags the …

There's no doubt that the pains, problems and prickles of this world can cause us to be calloused if we allow them to overrule our Christian world view. However, as believers, we thankfully don't have to fall victim to this depressed state of being. Rather, we posses the power through our relationship with Christ to …
