Because everyone loves a good story
My Double Life
Past Watchful Dragons has been MIA for a few weeks. Maybe life was busy enough that you didn’t notice, or maybe you sat sullenly staring at your screen, wondering when I’d return.
Well, I’ve returned, but things aren’t back to normal. If you’d like to know about the double life I’ve been leading, then read on, my friend. Read on.

Led Through the Dark
We were made to be creatures of light. During the dreary days of winter we feel that even more keenly, don’t we? Darkness isn’t good for us.
But Isaiah 50 reveals an aspect of darkness that I hadn’t noticed before. See what God says about those who presume to make their own light.
2021: In These Certain Times
It’s 2021! Do you feel completely different? If you’re anything like me, today feels like waking up on your birthday. You’re a year older and wiser, but it’s hard to tell.
Today’s post celebrates certainty “in these uncertain times.” Whether 2021 finds you elated, deflated, or simply waiting, read on for some encouragement.
Happy New Year, friend!
Aslan and Anastasis
We’ve all heard about the most crucial 18 inches…those between your head and your heart. What can bridge such a mighty gap? I propose that two of the most powerful channels are story and song.
This week’s post celebrates the resurrection of Christ by looking at a powerful song and a timeless tale. Do your heart a favor and take a look.
So That You May Believe
The death and resurrection of Lazarus is one of the most familiar stories in the New Testament. It was even well-circulated back in Lazarus’ time! Coming back to life after being dead for four days causes quite a stir, let me tell you.
At church on Sunday I heard this story from John 11 once again, and it helped me think more clearly about Jesus. Today’s post is a retelling of the story. Whether your faith is feeling fine, flimsy, or far away, consider giving this story a read. And, for bonus points, spend some time in John 11 as well. You won’t regret it.
Andrew Peterson’s Easter Offering
This Good Friday, do yourself a delightful favor and check out Andrew Peterson’s albums for the Lenten season. This week’s little blurb is pretty much a commercial for these fabulous albums, so be sure to check it out!
Radical Reasoning
The responses to COVID-19 are all across the board, from panic to skepticism and everything in between. You’d be hard pressed to find a company, organization, or individual who hasn’t weighed in on the issue one way or another. But this post really isn’t about the virus–it’s about the reason for suffering and the glory of God. I hope these verses are as encouraging to you as they were to me!
