An Idaho Christmas
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. -Colossians 3:15 Hello, Christmas… Another Idaho winter has descended upon us. In my neck of the woods, that means a little snow and a lot of gray days. But leave the river valley in […]
What’s He Here For?
In the last two weeks we have looked at the person we call the Holy Spirit. I love talking about God, but I’m especially intrigued with the third person of the Trinity.

The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. - Matthew 9:37 They stand at attention in tight little rows, soldiers in the fight against take-out.

Salmon Valley Celebration
Be hospitable to one another without complaint. – 1 Peter 4:9 Our destination was the town of Salmon, in southern Idaho. We started from our home in northern Idaho.

What They Didn’t Tell Us
Until our nineteen-year-old son broke his neck in a fall in the summer of 1997, we knew little about spinal cord injuries. His break was very high, and the chance of his survival was bleak. Since he was injured during a trip to Canada and we live in the United States, it was a difficult […]
When the Path Gets Rocky
We all stumble in many ways. - James 3:2 It was another hot August day. I was working outside and feeling increasingly irritated in the oppression of the afternoon heat. A hint of smoke from some distant wildfire loitered menacingly in the breeze. Alarmed, I paused to scan the sky for the dreaded pillar that signaled […]
