Daylight will fade away, despite the misnomer of “Daylight Savings Time.” There will be Oktoberfest, pumpkin spice lattes, skyrocketing candy sales, corn mazes and pumpkin patches, trips to the mountains to see the beautiful changing of the aspens, prepping of skis and snowboards, and of course, the annual event of the raking of the leaves as we prepare for the ensuing winter.For those of us who l...  Read More

There is a particular kind of tree that grows near the upper limits of mountain elevation, in that harsh zone just below the treeline known as the subalpine region. These trees, called krummholz, a German word meaning "crooked wood," grow in some of the most brutal conditions imaginable. The winds are relentless. The cold is bitter. Some of these trees develop branches only on one side, bent perma...  Read More

There is a question that quietly haunts nearly every person at some point in their life.

The question is simply this: Who am I, and where do I belong?For those who follow Jesus Christ, that question has a surprising answer. You are a stranger here.

What if the most powerful blessing someone could give you was not a string of flattering words, but an honest reckoning with who you actually are?That question sits at the heart of one of the most striking passages in all of Genesis. As Jacob lay on his deathbed, he gathered all twelve of his sons around him and did something that made each of them hold their breath. He blessed them. But these wer...  Read More

There is something deeply unsettling about a plan that does not go the way you expected. Most of us have experienced that particular brand of frustration — the moment when life takes a turn you did not anticipate, when the road ahead looks nothing like the map you had drawn in your head. And in those moments, the question that rises to the surface almost involuntarily is this: God, what are you do...  Read More

There is a moment most of us have experienced at some point in our lives. The moment when the good times have faded so completely that we can barely remember them. The bank account is empty. The resources are spent. The things we trusted to sustain us have slipped through our fingers one by one.

For many years now, all my public prayers have been directly from Bible passages, and most of my personal prayer time is directed by my Bible reading.  So why do I pray the Bible?I always thought of myself as a “prayer wimp,” because I couldn’t keep a prayer list; I couldn’t remember everything I was “supposed to” pray for; prayer was a hard chore; I was often bored with prayer -- especially praye...  Read More
