Yesterday at the Leventhal house we had a minor bird adventure. A baby bird fell out of the nest (or perhaps it was tossed out by the mom?) and landed on our patio. When it hit the ground it was still alive & Missy quickly scrambled to figure out if there was anything that could [...]

I came across this headstone this past weekend at Horn Cemetery in McKinney, TX (click the image for a higher resolution view). Horn Cemetery is a small, old place tucked away just on the northwest corner of Erwin Park. It’s about 150 years old and has among it’s roughly 200 dead, some Civil War veterans. [...]

Reflections on Mark 10:35-45 Quick Context: In Mark 10:32-34 Jesus talks with his disciples about what was going to happen to him when they got to Jerusalem. Make no mistake about it – Jesus was fully aware of the path he was on. He understood that his arrest, condemnation, torture and death were all looming. [...]

I was reading Proverbs 9 this morning and was reminded anew of the battle that goes on in my life on a daily, moment by moment basis. Been a while since you’ve read this section of Bible? Take a moment to read two parts of Proverbs 9. In these passages we get to hear from [...]

The Thin Line

I took the following pictures last week on my flight home from California. As we sped through the air at 35,000 feet the scenes below were amazing. I was struck by how quickly the landscape changed as we moved east – out of the populated areas and over the desert. And it got me [...]
The Suffering Servant – Thoughts on Isaiah 53

Isaiah’s account (Isaiah 53) of the Messiah as Suffering Servant is haunting in detail & content. This man…this Savior of would come for the sole purpose of restoring peace between God & humanity. His entire life would be lived in perfect obedience to the LORD. He would never slander his neighbor. He would never let [...]
Proverbs 7 – Read it lately?

I spent some time in Proverbs 7 this morning…a chapter I’ve read countless times over the years. For some reason on this December morning I was especially impacted by the weight of this chapter…the gravity of the topic & the vividness of the content. This is serious stuff. I highly encourage you (especially the men) [...]
Is your orphan care too reactive?

I saw this short video several weeks back & I’ve had a hard time getting it out of my brain. It brought back a question that I’ve been wrestling with for a while – “Are our orphan care strategies too reactive?” We spend tons of energy & resources on orphan care proper (and rightly we do) [...]

I love this passage of Scripture for a lot of reasons. When the Lord first really captured my heart in 1993 one of the first passages I committed to memory was Ephesians 2:8-9 & that has served me well over the years. Another reason I love this passage is because there is such a clear [...]
