Pure Religion Book Release

Faith or Presumption? This is a question that we grapple with regularly. While I understand straight-line budgeting that takes place at many churches, we do not operate within the same type of constraints. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of challenges, but we can raise funding in ways that is not the norm in a church.…

I always want to do more… If we know of a need, my thought is to fill it. My mindset is that if people know about a need, they will step-up to meet it.

Faith Anastasia, our fourth child, was born into the world on May 4, 2005. As prepared as we thought we were after experiencing the healthy births of our first three, our experience with Faith was powerful and life-altering—though our time with her was inexplicably short. Ten fingers, ten toes, a head of fuzzy peach hair—our little miracle was perfect in every way, an angel on earth for the fifteen days we shared with her…

I couldn’t help but write down an experience that I had at church this weekend, in hopes that some of you may be blessed by it. We were at the Assumption Cathedral in Denver on Sunday and the service was beautiful and solemn. The sights and sounds took me to a different time and place. It was good.

After church, I hurried over to ‘coffee hour.’ I recognized one of the ladies of the church; she is a friend of the family, and a very nice person. As I went to say hello, I stopped myself.
