A few weeks ago, my husband, toddler, and I decided to rent the documentary, "American Gospel: Christ Alone." Big mistake. We should have bought it! 😉 We plan to purchase it and watch with friends.

Bread for Losers
I often find myself grieving over my own depravity, counting all the ways I’ve failed as a Christian, wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, youth leader...

False Gods Named “Jesus”
My son loves playdough, and quite frankly, so do I. You can squeeze it, stretch it, roll it, and mold it into whatever shape you want. If B wants to build a snowman, rather a playdough-man, he can roll a few pieces up, stick them together, and he's just about done. If he's finished with … Continue reading False Gods Named “Jesus”
