I have been reflecting lately on the nature of my gifts. What am I good at doing? Where do I have the potential to achieve greatness? And by what standards? Is it really worthwhile to pursue this excellence? Tonight, I came across an excellent TED Talk exploring a similar question. What do we do when [...]

It’s November! Winter is upon us in full force here in Anchorage. Okay, maybe not full force. But we’ve had some days with temperatures in the single digits. Brr. To cope with the cold – and the shorter days – I am doing my best to stay busy. Working with youth really helps with that! [...]

I finally have a resolution. I am going to do this.
I fail. We all fail. Perhaps you have already failed at keeping your new year’s resolutions. I did not make any this year because I have never kept one. I always fail. If you are a Christian, you have [...]

Why do I take so much in my life for granted?
Better question: Why do we take things in our lives for granted so often?
I find it ridiculous sometimes when I reflect on my life how much I take for granted many of the amazing gifts God has put in my life. Relationships, education, [...]

I have no idea where this came from. I just experienced pure unrestrained joy. I actually experienced it. Have you ever experienced joy? Truly? It’s crazy to even try to get my mind around it. I don’t think I can. It is not a thought or an idea. [...]

This is something I have really been wrestling with lately. It seems that God is really speaking to me about commitment and trying to teach me some lessons as well as prepare me for the ministry he has planned for me.
