Christmas is not about the idol of family

December 1, 2020November 11, 2020

I love Christmas.  Sure, part of it is the spiritual truth of the holiday - Emmanuel, God with us! It is incredible.

We are in the full swing of summertime.  It’s not South Carolina without the heat and the sunshine.  And here in Florence, we’re close enough to enjoy a few trips to the beach as well.  The temperature may make us feel like we’re melting, but I hope that in reality you and your family are … Continue reading Four strategies for a thriving summer

A prayer to celebrate mothers today

It is a big deal to be a parent. To be a mom is often more obvious and more celebrated in our culture than to be a dad… and of course, the nine months of pregnancy and the child’s birth day have something to do with that!
