Travel | Being About The Journey

You just might be one of the luckiest people who has ever lived. If you have a roof over your head and four walls to protect you from the weather, you have what would have been considered unattainable for most of human history. For thousands of years, a dry, secure shelter wasn’t a given. It […]

As we age, the journey toward contentment isn’t about fighting the inevitable changes but embracing them with grace, wisdom, and intention. It’s about finding the peace you deserve from a life well-lived. And that peace doesn’t come from pretending nothing has changed. It comes from finally seeing clearly what matters. When we are […]

There was a time when society functioned because everyone understood and followed the rules. They were not complicated. They were not new. They were the basic principles that held communities together for generations: obey the law, respect your neighbor, take responsibility for your actions. For some reason, today the rules aren’t being followed like […]

Live slowly. Love gently. Look around and see that life is beautiful. Not because every day is perfect, but because beauty has always been hiding in the ordinary. To live slowly is not to fall behind. It is to finally keep up. The world will always try to hurry you. Faster news, faster answers, faster […]

Life is so ironic. It takes sadness to appreciate happiness, noise to appreciate quiet, absence to appreciate presence. That is the contract we never signed but somehow agreed to.

In order to get answers from God, we have to listen for His voice. That means literally being quiet and allowing the Lord into our lives. We live in a world that never stops talking; the noise is constant. The news, the phone, the worries in our own heads — there is a constant hum […]

Every day we pass hundreds of people. Some we know well. We know their names, their families, their stories. Others are complete strangers, faces that blur past us in the grocery aisle, at the stoplight, in the waiting room, on a phone call. But every single one of them has something in common. They are […]

Our nation is being threatened. Not in some distant, theoretical way. Not as a talking point for a campaign ad. It is being threatened right now, in real time, in the classrooms where kids should be learning, in the culture that should be lifting them up, in the economy that should be giving them a […]

Our lives are like a maze. Not the simple kind printed on the back of a kid’s menu, where you can see the whole thing at once and trace the path with your finger. It is the kind you walk inside. Tall hedges on either side. You can’t see over them. You can only see […]
