    Last week I attended a 7-day silent retreat at a serene, picturesque location in beautiful Colorado. It was a time to be with the Lord and embrace the silence. I quickly entered into a daily routine and felt an order and calm that I had not felt in a long time. In the silence, sounds…

Their roots have no place to go and they are stuck in a container too small for them. The plants have stopped thriving and growing; they have become stagnant and unable to get…

    This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice in it and be glad. Psalm 118:24 Laetare Sunday is the halfway mark of the Lenten Season. Laetare means “rejoice” in Latin. It is a time to see that the light of the day grows longer, as it shines brightly and ushers in a feeling…
