What if God is waiting for us to leap?
I used to make my family very nervous. (Let’s be honest, I probably still do.) I’d walk in the room and declare, “I’m going to win the Publisher’s Clearinghouse Sweepstakes!” Then for about two weeks I’d carry on and speak as if it were already a done deal. It never was a done deal. I
Kindness is as sweet as pie
Life becomes so sweet when we stop making it about ourselves. I know this, but sometimes I need a refresher course. My sixth-grade son, Ben, and I were working at our church’s annual pie auction to earn some money for his mission trip coming up this summer. I signed us up for “Pie Walker” or
