BALLOONS
One Sunday afternoon in late February, my family and I went out to brunch after the morning’s worship services. Upon leaving, my girls asked the hosts if they could have a balloon. Certainly they said – what color? So, my two youngest were each given a balloon, a huge

that the microwave popcorn is taking so long.
Or do you ever tap your fingers impatiently

It warms my heart to hear my kids co-operating on something—anything. It has not always been so. I remember sending two of our boys into their room to stay until they could emerge as friends. We heard some thumping and hollering, but pretty soon it changed to laughing, and they appeared with their

I do not trust people who never admit faults or sins. It tells me that they are either living under a delusion or they have filled their lives with so much busyness that they make no space for introspection. This week I was reading a book titled Revolution in World Missions by K.P. Yohannan.
