“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” — 1 Peter 5:7
Uncertainty and anxiety are often partners in crime. Fear of what the future holds, which is often fear of the unknown, is the root of anxiety. What does the Bible say about anxiety? It does not say to ignore it. We [...]

“The heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain you” — 2 Chronicles 6:18
Whenever I crop a photograph, I run into a dilemma. I find it hard to decide what to cut from the photograph. If I leave out a particular detail, the whole character of the photograph changes, but if I include it, I’d have [...]
Taught to Love

I think the person who has taught me the most about relationships is God. Even though He is invisible, I have learned more about what makes up a healthy, loving relationship from Him than anyone else.

Ineptitude can also have a very real impact on people’s lives. I used to think incompetence is something to be suffered, perhaps even sympathized. Not all [...]

For the last several years, I’ve conducted the on-campus interviews for the law students of our local law school. They are looking for a summer job with my law firm. When I ask them why they went to law school, inevitably some will say they want to change the world.

“Let us fix our eyes on Jesus . . . .” — Hebrews 12:2
I went running yesterday, and after a long while, I needed to walk for a bit to catch my breath. But when would I stop running and start walking? Well, I looked at the road ahead and set a mental marker. After [...]
