In his prayer for today, Scotty Smith thanked God for a "tapestry of Scriptures" that were "simultaneously convicting and encouraging." His prayer got me thinking about the three things I wanted to share with you this week. What follows isn't necessarily a tapestry of...

In Dan Allender's book Sabbath: The Ancient Practices, he defines worship as "our response to beauty as we offer awe and gratitude [to God] for the gift of goodness” (44). That leads me to wonder: When, during the past week, did you offer awe and gratitude to God for...

After a week away from sharing three things I liked with you, it’s good to be back! Here's what I got for this week: First, I liked this new band I discovered while in Florida. They're called Khruangbin---pronounced “Krung Bin." Go here to listen. You'll notice that...

Here are the three things I liked this week. First, I liked Luke Faulkner's "Reflections." It's a meditative piano piece I listened to while thinking, journaling, and turning through the pages of a notebook I use to catalog words and phrases I want to incorporate into...

Friday's almost here, so let's go ahead and press the release valve on the week, preparing our hearts and minds to relax into the weekend. To do that, let me pass on three things to help you trade your restless energy for inner stillness. First, I liked (more like...

It's not all poems, piano pieces, and probing questions around here. No sir (or ma'am). I'm not pathologically serious. I promise. But I understand that some people might get that impression from me. For that reason, I'm switching things up this week! By which I don't...
