Growing up in the Chicago area, I never worried about getting lost. The city is laid out like a giant checkerboard — most streets run perfectly north-south or east-west.

When I got married, I moved to Providence, Rhode Island. So much for the grid...

Every turn has a purpose.

I drove down my road after a recent storm to survey the damage. In three separate spots, huge trees had partially toppled and leaned precariously over the road, held up only by sagging power lines...

Trimmed is not transformed.

My family would tell you I’m a little obsessed with all the new options for outdoor security lighting these days...

But have you ever noticed how motion-detection lights can make you feel both secure and insecure at the same time?

Stay watchful. Stay close.

Familiarity isn't the same as an introduction.

When Memorial Day hits our seaside vacation town, it’s like someone flips a switch. The beaches come to life as tourists pour in like the rising tide. Music drifts through the air, and fireworks fill the night sky. Just like that, summer is here.

For most people, Memorial Day weekend feels like a relaxing celebration. And in many ways, it is.

But it’s also a time to pause and remember...

Freedom has never been free.

When my kids were younger, they loved to test my musical knowledge with our own version of “Name That Tune.” They were always amazed when I could identify a song after just a few notes.

It reminded me of a similar game I played with my dad when I was their age... but what he did was far more impressive.

Scripture as familiar as your favorite songs.

My 16-month-old grandson is obsessed with Phil Wickham’s rendition of Awesome God. He doesn’t say many recognizable words yet—but he can say “Awesome God” when he wants someone to play the song for him...

Keeping the story of redemption close.

Back in my early 20s, I got my first decent used car from a very generous couple at church. It ran great and came with something I’d never had before: a little Christian fish emblem on the back. I quickly realized that symbol affected the way I drove...

A reminder of who we represent.

I’m celebrating a milestone birthday this week and some of my girlfriends are taking me out to dinner. These women are one of God’s sweetest gifts to me. In 2019, we committed to pray together as a group every Wednesday for our children...

God’s faithfulness across the years.

Not long ago, I passed an impressive military convoy on the highway. There were dozens of armored Humvees and trucks with massive, mud-caked wheels and camouflage paint. They hauled trailers loaded with missiles and heavy artillery.

Then I spotted one truck in the group that didn’t quite fit in...

Serving faithfully in the role God has given you.
