“I love you”

Celebrate fathers taking their role seriously. Not perfect, but present.

Growing in understanding their children. Practicing faithfulness and courage. 

Celebrate fathers who seek the Lord for wisdom instead of giving up. 

Who say or demonstrate, “I love you.” 

Freely. Without condition.

Devotional Resurrection Day

Risen

“Christ the Lord is risen today! Alleluia!”

Our hope sings through warring-world brokenness. Where pain and fears are on the rise. 

Destruction and devastating loss keep trying to write the story. 

Evil roars. Seeking to hold captive peoples and nations.

The close dark

In the close dark, I pray. 

Struck by brilliant blue sky and bright sun sparkling on waves. 

While fog of spiritual deception cloaks hearts and minds.

This is the most helpless I remember feeling during our sojourn across cultures.
