When Our Foundation Falters

Sarah Walton: “When our expectations are shattered, or worse, God seems to be the one with a target on our back, it leaves us questioning, disoriented, and maybe even angry. In our eyes, the God we thought we knew has failed us. In reality, our perception of God is what’s failed us.”

Four Groups of People to Think About in Your Elders Meeting

When You Fear Your Best Days Are Behind You

“Instead of comparing how we are now with how we used to be, let’s remember that if we’re still here, we still have good work to do.”

Flashback: My Own Little Paradise in an Ocean of Ugliness

We genuinely do make progress, yet always know that many decades of struggle in this life will be but baby steps compared to the mighty leap we will experience when we are finally perfected in the moment of death. 

True, God shouts to us in our pain, but His answers, as with Elijah, often come to us in whispered still small voices amid the thunders of the world.
