Matchmaking and a Snowstorm

"You are sleepless; you want to judge everything, direct everything and see to everything and you surrender to human strength, or worse—to men themselves, trusting in their intervention—this is what hinders my words and my views. Oh, how much I wish from you this...

Main Character Energy

Last weekend, I attended a nondenominational Christian service with a friend from work. At one point in the sermon, the pastor put a quote up on the projector that read: "What you think about when you think about God is the single most important thing about you." -...

Straws and Crosswalks
