At home
I was taking a walk the other day, praying. And I began to think about how completely different I am from God, and how very little I truly know or understand about God. And I think about heaven, and being there and being at home, but having so much to learn. It’s like traveling to…

But is He real?
I was sitting on the floor in Barnes and Noble with my daughter yesterday, checking out the children’s Bibles. My daughter Gemma suddenly said: “Is God even still real?” Good question. Children speak their minds, adults are often afraid to. And it’s a question that most of the world is asking (if, only secretly). IS…
