Determination

I’m not sure why I made “Determination” the title of this message…but oh well. It’s on John 12, the cross, and surrender. Here’s the link… I had a great discussion with Marta after the service about some of her thoughts on this exact subject, and …

March Madness

As I’ve gotten older, my favorite sporting events have changed pretty drastically. I lived and breathed baseball growing up, and I still enjoy playing softball…but following baseball is not something I’ve really enjoyed as an adult. I never could play basketball. Growing up, I don’t …
