Simple Prayers

One of our bedtime routines with the kids is to say prayers with them. It’s interesting to see how their prayers change over time. Each of our kids started by learning a prayer that they could say every night, thanking God for the day and asking for good dreams...

Two In A Row

Your Love Is Extravagant

It’s another installment of #MusicMonday! I led worship for our high school student ministry last night and afterwards felt like I didn’t do a very good job. I had a hard time engaging the students and I couldn’t find the melody of the last song for...
