The good thing about life is that you can research anywhere you are. I'm just constantly gathering little bits of information all the time. I'm always grabbing something out of the headlines, out of the news or reading a book about astronomy and just trying to figure out how to get my head around the facts but the bigger stress is trying to connect those facts to normal life situations and our relationship with God.

There's something that's not right or not perfect or not the way we had hoped or dreamed that it was going to be. But God promises that He will use everything and every moment to ultimately take us to a new Heaven and a new Earth. For now, we're stuck in the middle.

There's no doubt we were unworthy, but we were never worthless. Big difference.

To us, waiting is wasting. To God waiting is working.

As long as we are faking it we are just showing the world how to fake it - but they already are! They want to see us get real.

In the end, our worship is more about what we do than what we say.

God’s words trump all opinions, including mine, and in the end, I believe God’s words lead to life.
