The Sandbox

Proverbs 3:13 says, “Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding.” A visit to the beach is one of those quintessential childhood joys.

Tiny Seeds of Hope

​Turn Off the Technology

When I think back to my childhood, I was riding bikes, playing games, going for bush walks, and having a lot of fun face-to-face with my friends. I then look at my own children today growing up in a society full of digital technology, social media, and multiple ways to...

Faithfulness

I once worked with someone who used the phrase, ‘Leave it with me'. And he meant it! If he committed to doing something, experience taught me that I could have full confidence in him and know that he would follow through. I no longer needed to worry about or plan...
