The Time For Revival Is Now
As the world turns the spotlight on the revival taking place at Asbury University, I too am excited.
If you happen to have missed the news, on February 8th students of Asbury University in Kentucky gathered for their Wednesday chapel service. But instead of filing out at the end of the service, the students lingered on ...
What Does It Mean To “Pray in Faith”?
For the last few weeks, I have been somewhat anxious. Several things took up space (rent-free, I might add) in my mind. Worry woke me up at odd hours in the night, as I considered outcomes and outputs to certain questions. As I write this post, the answer to several of those questions is still, ...
Do Our Words Need An Overhaul?
My mom recently bought me a typewriter as I wanted to add to my vintage memorabilia collection. So far, my repertoire of relics from the past includes a rotary phone that doesn’t work and a music system that belonged to the husband when he was a teen (Given that the hubs may also fall in ...
Help! I Want To Have Consistent Quiet Times!
A year or so ago I decided to give intermittent fasting a trial run. If you’re familiar with the practice, I attempted the 16/8 model where I planned to abstain from food for 16 hours and follow it up with an 8-hour eating window. I know thousands of people across the world have had dazzling ...

In Christian circles, we’re well versed with “Doubting Thomas,” the disciple who was AWOL when Jesus appeared after the resurrection. But ...
Be Someone’s “Insurance Agent”
A few days ago, our friends from church who now live in another town met with an automobile accident. By God’s grace, their injuries were minimal but the wife was admitted to a hospital close to our home.
When we visited Sarah (name changed) at the hospital, I was surprised to see another acquaintance, a quiet ...
Progress Over Perfection. But…
Happy New Year, friends!
I recently celebrated 44 circuits around the sun but I’m not yet “over the hill” when it comes to setting new year goals. Every year, I launch into January with fresh hopes and dreams. Inevitably, a few weeks into the regular routine, some freshness starts to wilt like the leafy greens I ...
A Christmas Lesson From A Coffee Shop
The Toffee Crunch Mocha Latte called my name.
I deliberated over the other options.
The americano with a splash of milk. Way fewer calories.
The cappuccino with a foamy heart. Way more sensible.
The south Indian filter coffee. Way more familiar.
But the Toffee Crunch Mocha Latte was just more… holiday-y. This is the season to indulge, they say. So ...
A Christmas “Activity” You Won’t Want To Miss
Women are getting angrier.
At least that’s what a recent poll reveals.
An annual survey by Gallup suggests that women, on average worldwide, have been getting angrier over the past 10 years. In 2012 both genders reported anger and stress at similar levels. But more recently, it was found that women were angrier—by six percentage points. The ...
