Your No Leaves Room For Your Yes
Last summer, my neighbor was planting strawberries and had some extras. She brought them over, and I felt bad turning them down. We had six ideally suited garden beds, and I didn't have any seemingly good excuse to refuse them. She said, "Anyone can keep strawberries...
How Do You Ask God For Something?
Praying, to me, felt like paper airplanes thrown into the air to an Almighty God that I couldn't quite wrap my head around. Hope thrown into the darkness, into the expanse of the sky. To me, the word “pray” was so overused that it seemed to have lost its conviction....

Know the One Who Is In Control
Last year on an icy morning here in Omaha, a large passenger plane landed and slid completely off the runway out of control. My husband’s plane was the next one to take off, and he saw everything first hand out of his small oval window. His captain would be in control...
