When God Made Mountains

August 14, 2015.Reading time 4 minutes.

Some friends and I drove to Aspen for a little mini-vaca last weekend. When we were on our way back we decided to try a different route home; anyone who has driven to the Colorado Mountains knows I-70 is a disaster on a Sunday afternoon. With a little (okay, a lot) of naivety we started […]

When I am running the marathon of my life, God takes the backburner and I run until I realize I have been running on empty for way too long and find myself on the floor asking for more of Him because I have nothing solid to stand on.

Summer of Dreams

July 24, 2015.Reading time 6 minutes.
