If I were writing this last year I don’t even think I would have paid any attention to this part of Nicholas’ story. I’m not sure the word would have registered in my brain. But this year? Hearing of a young boy losing both his parents to an uncontrolled illness was hard to ignore.
Like everything else during coronatide, Thanksgiving is a day filled with tough choices.
There is nothing like both parenting and pastoring to strip you bare.
The day is finally here: October 27th. It’s the publication date for Growing Christians, the first book we created as the Grow Christians community. Last week I shared a sneak peek inside the book on the Feast of Saint Luke the Evangelist, and today I’d like to share why we wrote it.
Friends, we did it. We wrote a book.

Some days it’s hard for me to think about the last 24 months or so. I have gone from being an 18-month plan-ahead kind of person to a taking-it-one-day-at-a- time kind of person.
The choices our adult children make might surprise us. Be ready for anything and open to the Spirit.
In a regular year, last Sunday would have been “Rally Day” at my church.
