Scuba diving and snorkeling are close cousins but have a fundamental difference: depth. And depth defines the experience. Snorkelers enjoy the views as they skim the surface of the water. The colors and sea-life are visible but at a distance. The surface seems safe and natural.
The old adage “actions speak louder than words” rings true, but it doesn’t tell the whole truth. Words matter. In fact, words carry the profound power to build up or destroy. As kids we espoused that sticks and stones were the only things that could hurt us and words could never penetrate the force field of our heart. But all of life tells a different story.

There are plenty of ideas about life that I have floating around in my head, but I usually don't like the sacrifice that they cost me.
Church, here are the scriptures that I mentioned in my sermon this weekend. I pray you find them helpful and encouraging. My identity in Christ: In Christ, I am … the salt of the earth (Matt 5:13)
I stayed up late several nights this week with a book that I just couldn’t put down. “Lone Survivor” by Marcus Luttrell is a first-hand eye-witness account of Operation RedWing in the mountains of Afghanistan carried out by SEAL team 10. As the title suggests, it is a tragic story of brotherhood, heroism and sacrifice. There were countless times while reading that I found myself ...
