The Sparrow
Driving to work today, I was stressed. By 8am, I’d dealt with a sick kid who was up all night, pictures for a final day of school, packing extracurricular activity clothing, lunches, being late for the other kid’s school, packing … Continue reading
Distraction
A certain handheld gaming system was a raging phenomena when I was young. Even before it was in color, I’d watch the pixels on the screen as they danced and did whatever I wanted them to. I was immersed in … Continue reading
Gifts for Glory
You are unique. Handcrafted. Everything about you is painted intricately by the Creator’s hand. There is no one like you! When you were born, genes, mannerisms/tendencies, and natural talent were inherited. Then, when we entered into God’s family, spiritual gifts … Continue reading

Easter Pieces
A fresh-out-of-the-box 1,000 piece puzzle was dumped out onto a desk. I took a picture of the heap – cluttered and confused, upside down and intermingled. Then, after a few weeks of diligence, the puzzle was completed. I took another … Continue reading
