“But Moses said, “Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else”...”
– How many times in life do we think that someone else should do the task we are charged with? I constantly see opportunities to do good, but rationalize that there HAS to be someone else out there who can do it better. I see a person with a flat tire, on the side of the road, distraught on the phone...

It’s what a political debate should look like. Instead things are so polarized nowadays and rational debate is falling by the...

I’ve been reading through my friend’s copy of Moments with the Savior by Ken Gire and it is blowing my mind every morning that I read it. Today was about how an Angel appeared to Shepherds to tell about Jesus’ birth. I always took...
