How a sunset inspired a purpose-driven, daddy-daughter conversation
Not long ago, my twelve-year-old daughter Casey and I took a stroll around the park to watch the sunset. It was beautiful!

Answer to all life’s problems inspired by the mayor of Papillion “Yes?” asks Mayor Black, pointing to my son Neil. “My dad likes to pick up trash in the park,” Neil says, lowering his hand as he responds to the mayor’s question. “That’s good,” says the mayor. “That means I don’t need to use your money…
Where will your walk-on-water faith take you?
It’s three a.m. The wind is strong as it picks up each wave with its scooping hand and thrusts it against a small fishing boat. Inside that boat are mere fishermen—or so it would seem. “Bring down the sail, John, we must await Him as He wishes,” says the foremost among them. Peter restlessly paces…
