Author | Editor : Living, reading, and learning in the dailies

WELCOME!

I am so glad you’ve come! I have something crazy-important to share with you.

GOD IS BIG. He is personal, tangible and His love for you cannot be measured. It cannot be thwarted. He is bigger than you or I could ever imagine and His grace — WOW. I admit I’m still grappling with it, but I can tell you this: it is awesome.

Now, grab a cup of coffee — or tea, if you prefer! — and let’s visit.

You’ll find no facades, no legalism, and no self-proclaimed experts here. Just lots of grace and encouragement, an occasional bit of spice, and a true desire to know God and make Him known in the dailies.

We need to get this right.

By Tanya  / January 13, 2021
We can disagree with the actions and call them "fringe", but if they're playing our music, waving our flags, wearing our symbols, and speaking in the name of our Lord, we need to do something about it.

The starting point matters.

The starting point matters.

By Tanya  / January 12, 2021
You can’t win a 5K if you run in the wrong town. You won't get where you want to go if your map is for the wrong state. And, no matter what Joey Tribbiani says, trifles do not taste good if the ingredients you use aren't right. The starting point matters.
