Stop, the corporate ladder climbing! Stop, putting all of your time and energy into your stuff! Stop spending your weekends in front of the TV watching sports! Stop [fill in the blank] and engage with your children. Its worth it!

Once Upon a Time…

Once Upon a Time…

Just step in to narrative of others and you will quickly discover that people have this sense that life is random! The problem with this perspective it leads many of us to grab what ever we can in life, leaving us empty over time. Ever consider that life is a story?

I was consumed in justifying myself apart from God, and it left me worn out, tired, and empty.

Your heart is free. Have the courage to follow it. -Malcolm Wallace

Cool Scripture

Don't be afraid, I've redeemed you. I've called your name. You're mine. When you're in over your head, I'll be there with you. When you're in rough waters, you will not go down. When you're between a rock and a hard place, it won't be a dead end - Because I am GOD, your personal God, The Holy of Israel, your Savior. I paid a huge price for you...That's how much you mean to me! That's how much I love you! I'd sell off the whole world to get you back, trade the creation just for you. -Isaiah 43:1-4 (MSG)
