At the church where I am interning, one of our ministries is to visit a local nursing home weekly and lead a Bible Study there. The attendees’ interest and ability to participate varies widely, so we keep it basic – reading a section of Scripture and discussing the details here and there.
This past week was [...]

Today, I had the joy of watching two friends be ordained as pastors, plus the joy of seeing other friends who were ordained earlier in the summer.

The Big Debate starts in 10 minutes, so I’ll keep this quick. But today, in spite of my complete exhaustion and utter worn-out-ness, I got to be what I hope was a voice of truth in a situation crying out for justice.
At the end of January, I witnessed a car accident. I have now given [...]
