In Pursuit of Perfection: Approval
If you’re anything like me, you may not realize how deeply you desire approval–from God and from others. This week I share some insights God gave me into my own heart and His Word about the need for (and source of) approval.
In Pursuit of Perfection: The Sickness
Are you driven by the inner compulsion to do more, try harder, and be better? Do you feel happiest when you’ve put everything in order? Does your happiness tend to hinge on a completed to-do list? In short, would you consider yourself a perfectionist? If you or a loved one (or a tolerated one) falls into this category, then you won’t want to miss this post.
Check Out This Song!
If you’ve been eagerly awaiting an article about Indiana Jones, I’m afraid this week may leave you disappointed. That article is still in the works.

Read on, my friends. Read on.
A Good Friday Meditation
With all the hype of Easter, it can be easy to let Good Friday slip by without much notice. This year, I’d encourage you to take a few moments with this short post and meditate on the beauty of God’s plan. We’ll look together at the last song Jesus sang before his crucifixion, and we’ll marvel at the prophetic power of this Psalm.
What a Waste, Part 2
Martha accused Mary of wasting time, but Jesus disagreed. When we find ourselves serving God busily and resentfully, it may be time to revisit this story.
