There was a question that I heard a few years ago that truly made me stop in my tracks. I had been a Christian most of my life but had never heard this question. There is a point, I think, in every follower of Jesus’s life where one is faced with a jarring reality.

Relationships modify behaviors. I noticed this several years into my marriage, in particular. I never used to read in bed before turning out the lights. I was accustomed to crawling into bed, turning out the lights, and waiting to drift to sleep. I noticed that my wife, however, would keep her light on and read for a while before sleeping. This was not my habit. However, after years...

Have you ever experienced a time when you notice something new and then everywhere you look, you see it? Maybe you just bought a white car and now everywhere you look you see white cars.

My freshman year of college was rough. I grew up in Oxford, OH so it was an easy decision to live at home and attend Miami University just after high school.
