He created all of it by a word. As you consider what this year has brought and the coming year will bring, watch this video and marvel at the work science has accomplished in compiling what we know of this cosmos God created and cares for deeply.

“Patrick Hughes plays so that we might hear the music of opportunity and the sound of potential.” This story moved my family to tears as we watched this University of Louisville, KY, student whose father marches with him in the band. Watch it and enjoy.

I prefer these in the 13 or 16 layer variety. I will have both waiting on us upon arrival to Georgia. All things in moderation, of course.

With the influence and magnitude of sexuality in our culture, you’d think with all of that “out in the open,” Christian parents would have an easier conversation with their children, or at least before they’re heading over to the church to get married (don’t laugh: I actually have a friend whose father gave him “the [...]
