I have had seasons of Spirit-filled, worshipful, and consistent times in the Word and seasons when reading has felt like a duty rather than a joy and delight. We all find ourselves struggling from time to time to read the Bible and interpret it correctly. And here’s the good news, that’s okay. Not only is it okay, it’s great. We want to know Him!

Part of my desire to write Creative God, Colorful Us, was to help us teach the next generation.

Updates: Books, Encouragement, Sale, and more….
It’s been quiet here! Since March, like much of the world, I’ve been adjusting to life at home, kids at home, work at home, and church at home. What’s interesting about that sentence is that it’s not unique. I imagine that you’ve had many of the same adjustments to make during this year.
