Prescription for Life? Try Music

I really don’t like taking medications. Until I turned 60 years old, my medicine cabinet was empty, but now I am on four prescriptions. I have high hopes, though, of health improvements that will eliminate most of them. There is one prescription I take daily that is...

Called to be a Christian in Business

I loved going back to school as an adult. I adored getting my higher education at a Christian college. I literally loved every bit of it—looking at each subject through a Christian lens, starting classes with prayer, meeting fellow students who shared my love of Jesus...

He Provides (Even When We Least Expect It)

This fall, I faced the toughest situation of my life. I felt like I was falling apart at the seams. It seemed like every area of my life was crumbling, from my faith to my finances. I did something dangerous, something I’m pretty ashamed to admit: I stopped praying. I...

That Day

Hearing God and Following Him

Every great leader in the Bible started off as just an ordinary person who heard God’s direction and then followed it, no matter how crazy it seemed.  Recently, as I was reading Love Does by Bob Goff, I was overcome by the desire to be more open to crazy God...

The Gift of Singleness

To be single or not to be single. The apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 7:7 (MSG), “Sometimes I wish everyone were single like me—a simpler life in many ways! But celibacy is not for everyone any more than marriage is. God gives the gift of the single life to some,...

Are you Overwhelmed or Stressed?

I recently noticed that there is a difference between being “overwhelmed” and being “stressed.” The word “stressed” has gotten such a negative connotation these days, not to mention that it is overused. A few weeks ago, someone asked me, “How is your new job going?”...
