Awed by Mercy; Weeping in Hope

This is a beautiful but crooked world, where babies are created and at times do not live. The Lord gives yet sometimes also takes away (Job 1:21), and when he does there is deep pain.

Seasons of suffering in life are as sure as March snow flurries in Minnesota. And such climate shifts test trust, materialize maturity, and make us long for spring. In the not so distant past, God let a blizzard of pain hit my home that drained our fuel and tried our...Looking to Christ in the Loss of a Child
The loss of a child is painful, deeply painful. Fifteen years ago, my wife and I experienced our first certain miscarriage. I was a new dad, and then, just like that, it was over. The loss was so unexpected. The ache went deep, to my soul’s core. And in the midst of...Staying Plugged Into Power
