It was a three bedroom apartment in Chennai in South India. Our boys were ten and four and the house was filled with colorful artwork, toys in all sizes and shapes, mainly lots of bats and balls of all types.

Mike and Meshu enjoyed seeing caterpillars turn into pupa and then fly away as bright butterflies.

I remember exactly where I was the day my season of wait began. It was the summer of 2014, right in the middle of hot sticky July. My mother, sister, brother and I were standing in a department store waiting to check out just as the tornado sirens buzzed. Rain began and thunder followed almost immediately. The line was long, snake like, intimidating, never ending. “C’mon,” I thought, “I want to go home and read a book. This is taking too long”

Luke 1:30 reads “Messenger: Mary, don’t be afraid. You have found favor with God.”
I love this passage - like I love absolutely everything about the Christmas story - but in particular, how this passage is not just for the Christmas period. This is relevant to us at any time when we are feeling surprised by unknown circumstances or taken aback by curveballs in our worlds.

Girls fight with pornography as well as gentlemen. We just don’t say anything because we feel that no one will understand. I understand. I have been there. I know what you are going through. Trying to sweep it under the rug will only work so long. I know, I am a pro at sweeping my mistakes under the proverbial rug. But not acknowledging our mistakes, just allows them to keep growing and become a den of lions.

Two weeks ago, we had a discussion about 5 signs of a cult and being aware of what type of church you attend. There are many groups that are misleading or drawing people away from the church.
