Forgiveness doesn’t always happen in a single moment. We forgive, and then grief and anger resurface, and we forgive again. But while our forgiveness comes in waves, God’s forgiveness does not. When He says “forgiven,” it is finished—once and for all.

America: One Nation Under God
It’s a Turning Point in America, and the call is unity. It is time to stop seeing sides and colors and time to start rallying together because Jesus himself said a house divided is weak. If we want to be a strong nation, we must be unified.
Charlie Kirk: Remembering the Human Before the Headlines
Beyond politics, Charlie Kirk was first a son, a husband, father, and friend. This reflection explores the infinite dignity of human life and the call to honor it.
A Tribute to Charlie Kirk
A heartfelt tribute to Charlie Kirk — a man of faith, family, and courage. Though his life was cut short by senseless violence, his legacy endures, and in Christ we hold fast to the hope of heaven, reunion, and eternal life.
When Is There?
When will I arrive? I’ve asked myself this question so many times. I thought when we moved to Minnesota we would finally “arrive”—but we didn’t. Then I thought maybe it would come when we bought a house and felt settled. But we bought the house, and the unsettled feeling lingered. I thought perhaps it wasContinue reading “When Is There?”
Babel
Last week, there was a school shooting at a campus not far from where I live. It was a school I once considered for my four-year-old’s preschool. I didn’t choose it. But even from the outside, it feels unbearably close. Two children—just eight and ten years old—were killed. Twenty more were injured. That night, theContinue reading “Babel”

Devo for the Depressed
Today you are feeling discouraged. (Maybe it’s a feeling that’s lasted a lot longer than just a day.) Maybe you’re wondering: Is God real? Does he care? Does prayer change anything? Sometimes you pray and have answers. Sometimes you pray and don’t have answers. You’re hurt. You’re discouraged. You’re tired, maybe tired doesn’t even beginContinue reading “Devo for the Depressed”
Not me but You
The other night I prayed, “{God} fill me with more of You.” I shuddered to think how He may answer that prayer. The only way I have ever become less me or less focused on me is through an (unpleasant) humbling process. I thought about the prayers that would likely be answered no. I thoughtContinue reading “Not me but You”
The Dress
She saw me in the store and knew I would be the perfect fit for the somber occasion. She tried me on, and it was a done deal. While I was a little more expensive than she ever spent on clothes, the occasion merited a little more. In the bag I went, home with her,Continue reading “The Dress”
