Feelings
(5-minute read) “I’m having a problem,” I said to my wife. “Something’s happened to my mind. I can’t seem to think straight. My emotions rise up on a level with my reasoning.

God From the Sidewalk
(7-minute read) I was fourteen years old, walking home alone, when God showed up on the sidewalk beside me. He didn’t speak. He didn’t correct me. He just stood there, close enough that I could feel him, until I was certain I wasn’t imagining it. I have spent the rest of my life trying to…
