Sometimes we forget that God has a hand in our lives. It often seems we can go through live without noticing his presence. The promise of his love and presence is with us though. I talked with my kids the other day about how God loves us and how important we are to him. We…

Today I will talk to a larger Christian group of Thai people at a cell group gathering. It is the first time I speak in front of a bigger group in Thai without a translator. Strange, because I used to lead worship in Thai for two years at a Thai church. Most of my sharing…

My plan to read through the bible is not a speed reading contest. I believe to understand God and His plan better is to read what happened in the past. This morning I finished Leviticus. It leaves me thankful that I wouldn’t have to bring the sacrifices the Israelites had to bring to be acceptable…
