"NOOOOOOO, NOT EGGS", "EWWW I DON'T WANT SOUP", "CURRY, WHY DID YOU HAVE TO MAKE CURRY MOM". Somehow, not 5 minutes after waking up, my daughter has decided that whatever I'm serving for breakfast (unless its pancakes!) is "disgusting".

Sundays have been difficult. I remember the first morning we met with our House Church over Zoom. March 22nd. I remember it because I took a picture of our kitchen table - my coffee set out next to the computer, our communion elements prepared on a favorite dish, our daughter sitting happily occupied with a new activity book. It felt so picturesque (ergo, the picture) to d...

The Lord has brought the Joneses to our knees (on our best days) in this difficult season. Will finishing his PhD in a season of economic downturn is not what we expected. Before he completed his time at Rice in April, my dreams were filled with possibilities: moving to a cool college town, owning a home, pursuing adoption, sending missionaries to the world with our extra....

There are times where we are confronted with things that make no sense, that terrify and hurt so, so, badly. Like Jesus, our humanity makes us utterly desperate for God to rid us of our tension and suffering. But Jesus did not wallow in self-pity or stubbornly assert His own human will.
