Today, Jesus said to me, “Obedience to Me doesn’t always mean doing everything yourself. Nowhere in Scripture is it commanded (or even indicated) that you are to “go into all the world…and you must go it alone.” Where did you get this notion that the work you do is only able to be done by […]

The One with the Letter of Love
The glory of God is a man fully alive. [St. Iranaeus] A letter of thanks. Dear Kevin, I think you know by now how wholly and passionately I love you. But, my husband, I truly believe without your incredible love for me, I wouldn’t have the capacity for such a love. God has given you […]
