The past few days have taken their toll. The cancer in my abdomen is growing. I can feel it expanding with my fingertips. The pain is getting worse. Every day is worse than the day before. I am taking pain medicine around-the-clock now. I sleep about 60-90 minutes at a time. I yearn for an [...]

I have spent many hours thinking and reflecting on what will happen to me upon my death. It occurs to me now that much of that has been quite selfish.

Save me, O God!
I am sinking in the mire,
My cries make me weary.
The Lord hears his own,

For in you I find peace and refuge.
Remain my protector.
Help [...]

I woke up one morning this week and noticed a spider resting on the crown molding directly above my face. I ignored the spider and started reading Psalm 71 (per an earlier recommendation from my Aunt Laurie in Flagstaff, AZ). As I was reading, I looked up every so often and gazed at the spider, [...]

Or do we have an innate desire for God? I read an interesting article that points out the downfall of evolution’s popularity and also posits the following: perhaps mankind has evolved to have faith.
“There is growing evidence that man, as a result of his brain, is wired to believe in higher powers, not just because [...]
