As I watched the sunrise this morning, I saw a fish jump. The fish jumped high, gliding through the air in a graceful ark, before it plunged back into the water. I thought, "right now, I feel like that fish." I’ve been swimming in turbulent salt water. Although the water is the place where I … Continue reading I Feel Like That Fish

I left the house for a … Continue reading One Month of Answered Prayers

One Small Step
“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” - Neil Armstrong. Maybe it is strange to use the quote of an astronaut jumping out of a spacecraft onto the surface of the moon to start this update. But I find it rather fitting and maybe I can convince you of the same. … Continue reading One Small Step
