As I continue to hear about the devastation around the country due to the recent tornadoes, I'm in awe. It can be easy to think that there's little we can do to help, but it has been very neat to see people from First Trinity step up and help recently.

Africa on the heart…
Today has been one of those “think a lot about Africa” kinds of days. - One year ago right now I was on a plane from Chicago to London, followed by a flight from London to Uganda. - My friend Jessica, with whom I travelled with last year, and I played phone tag all day… Continue reading Africa on the heart…

Go Out in Joy
This morning, I read these words: For you shall go out in joy, and be led back in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall burst into song, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. (Isaiah 55:12) I know I’ve read these words before, but something about the first… Continue reading Go Out in Joy
