I think the term, “Bible Stories” sometimes desensitizes us from the fact that the stories are about real people, who lived real and complex lives. The story life of Jacob and his two sister wives, Leah and Rachel is one of those cases. Last year, we talked about how love was seen and unseen from …
I wonder what the how earth reacted to a King (Jesus) being born. Did the flowers sway with the joy and the stars twinkle with delight? Maybe even the grass rustled into a sweet reverence as the birds slept quietly? I’m taking a Counseling and Psychotherapy course this semester and last week, we talked about …

Through these dreams God is working on and advising me! “Don’t think of it as you lacking your desires, but being full of your desires. They are …
