My 19 year old daughter came home tonight. I have learned to expect the unexpected from her. I guess she is a chip off the proverbial block. She is like her dad, predictably unpredictable. I saw her friends car drive up and even though I was not expecting her, I was glad she came home. [...]

In John 8:12 of the new testament we see “When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “ I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” I have spent some time reflecting on 2010 and all the things that have [...]
