The Home Stretch
Last Sunday, I observed my toddler drifting off to sleep on our way back from church. He’s always determined, it seems, to stay awake through the journey home, a journey of about 30 to 40 minutes depending on the traffic condition. On the drive home, I glance back a few times to check if he’s […]

Hosanna!
It’s Palm Sunday. That special (Sun)day set aside in the year to celebrate the triumphant entry of the Lord Jesus into Jerusalem, just a few days before His crucifixion.

Our Father
“This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,Matthew 6:9 NIV Our Father. Such grace!
