How to be a Christian in the Workplace
I have been told on more than one occasion that people love my attitude at work. I’m not one to complain often and I try to have a positive outlook. But if you were to ask my colleagues if I was a Christian, I bet that only a handful of them would be able to…

Light of the World
Below is a story that Joe wrote a few years ago about the blind man who was healed by Jesus. Joe had imagined and wrote about what that man might have felt while witnessing Jesus’ Crucifixion. “As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this…

Lazy Praying
Without opening up too much in my first week of posting, something that I continue to struggle with is lazy praying. I’ve always been told that when you are praying, you should imagine yourself actually speaking with God. But how often does your mind wander when you are praying? Or you just go through the…

God of Mercy, Sweet Love of Mine
One of my all-time favorite bands is NEEDTOBREATHE and their song, “Multiplied”, holds a special place in my heart. When I was in the midst of postpartum depression after Enzo was born (about 3 1/2 years ago), this song had just been released on the radio. And when I say I was in the midst…

Where to Start?
When Kacie and I set out to start a new blog, we knew we wanted to include some aspect of faith into it. Over and over I kept blocking myself from writing anything because I wasn’t sure of the direction I wanted to go with it. It’s a blog about being vegan, so does God…

Why Jesus?
For weeks now I’ve been wanting to write a post about why I decided to become vegan and why we are raising our kiddos that way. I’ve been writing and rewriting this post in my head over and over. But while I was doing that one night, trying to fall asleep and not succeeding, I…

Scratching the Surface: Religion
I am extremely grateful to have been born in the United States, raised a Christian, with parents that remained together, awesome siblings, in a nice neighborhood, rarely hurting for money. I know I am very fortunate. One thing this foster process had me realize is that I am not very diverse. Without ever thinking about…

In God We Trust
In God We Trust (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. The entire idea of Christianity revolves around having faith. Faith that the Bible is real, faith that God is…

A Quote From Wonder Years
Since we are on the topic of “what have you done for me lately” and “living in the now” I thought I would throw out an awesome quote from the classic TV show Wonder Years. You should give your actions serious considerations because they could have serious consequences. It’s easy to take a stand on…

So….What Have You Done For Me Lately?
Often times we live out our lives based on the next big event happening. We don’t live in the now and quite frankly, we miss many opportunities to connect with others and represent God because of it. One thing that I try to do on this site is post “Helping Hands!” They are designed…

What Have You Done For Me Lately?
This is a topic that I’ve wanted to talk about for awhile. I believe most of us have very short term memories. We can’t look past what is going on right now. In my opinion, this is one of the reasons divorce rates are so high. We are a “what have you done for…
