Finding Rest
I entered the dimly lit Church, my four and five-year-old sons in hand with a tote on my arm full of children’s saint books and bible stories.

Turning to God When Things Don’t Go Your Way
What do you do when things go wrong? You had some plans or an idea of what your life might be and then things are completely derailed. Maybe it’s illness, a death, or doors that are closed where you thought they would stand wide open. Surely you can think of a time or two, or...Continue reading→
Jesus, I Trust in You
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat [or drink], or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet...Continue reading→

And what was the result of your decision? Cale Clarke spent a recent segment on The Cale...Continue reading→
The Power of Silence
When is the last time that you got away from everything?

Dealing with Spiritual Doubt
We’ve seen the concept of doubt many times in scripture. When Abraham and Sarah are told that their descendants would number greater than the stars, they laughed, for both of them were old and past the age of bearing children.
