Cry Out In A Crisis
We're slowly emerging from a harrowing season.
About a month ago, as part of a volunteer helpline, I heard people weep on the phone as they scrambled for hospital beds for their loved ones who fought for their lives. I remember the voices of some of them. A woman wailing—her mom had died and her sister ...
Dear Hubs, A Dada-Base Of Why We Love You!
Dear hubbers,
Happy Father's Day!
I know you’re a behind-the-scenes guy, but there comes a moment in every man’s life when he needs to be embarrassed by an overly enthusiastic, gushing wife.
Well, that’s not entirely true.
But, whether you’re ready for it or not, hang tight because this is your moment in the spotlight. I would say it’s ...
How Do You Approach The Word?
Our kids just wrapped up their exams.
If you live in India, you know exams are a big deal. Or, at least, we make a big deal about them.
Since the kidlings are still doing online school, the hubbers and I have the opportunity to pray with them before they write their papers.
And then we launch them ...
Three Words That Could Be Hindering Your Faith Walk
Couple days ago I read an article on The Gospel Coalition where the author published a speech he shared with a graduating class of High School seniors. In the article, he says:
“Of all the decisions you’ll face this year, the most important one may be whether you get up and go to church on the ...
“Get up and call on your God”
If there’s a Sunday School story etched in our collective memories, it’s the one about Jonah and the big fish. Maybe the David and Goliath incident and Noah’s Ark are close contenders, but these three narratives take home the prize for most beloved children’s church stories of all time.
You may remember the events that unfold ...
Motherhood: It’s All Grace
Hi friends,
I haven't posted for a while as the situation in India with Covid cases spiraling out of control has taken center stage in my mind and heart.
It’s been an overwhelming few weeks for all of us who live here. Covid is no longer a headline or an obscure statistic. It’s affecting our friends and ...
When Your Kids Call You Out
If there’s anyone who “tells it like it is” it’s our kids.
They don't mince words when they speak. They don’t sugarcoat things so it sounds politically correct or palatable. They don’t hide behind nice-isms and platitudes.
And, often, their honest words are exactly what we need to hear.
Let’s take a sample of some of the comments ...
Pray Your Way Through Uncertainty (YouVersion Devotional)
None of us are immune from life's "What if's?"
And the last year of the pandemic has only served as a highlight reel of how uncertain our lives can be.
As I write this, my Whatsapp groups are inundated with messages about vaccines and viruses, with concern for loved ones and how to access care packages. India ...
Facing Rejection? You’re In Excellent Company
Setting out the yellow signboard that said, ‘Wet Floor,’ I sloshed my mop between the tables of the café.
Only one table was occupied. A group of about six or seven sat around it sharing bags of chips and bursts of conversation.
I knew all of them. They were my classmates from my graduate program in journalism ...
