In the Dark of the Night.
There is a God-intended rhythm to life that's been lost, even dismissed. If you're honest with yourself, deep, deep down, you know this to be true. Capturing that rhythm will change your life - forever.
Antiques and iPhones
Frank Sinatra Jr. died last week. His passing surfaces a truth we all leaders need to face, especially those in the church.
When Life Smells Like Beef and Cheese!
