I’ve been a little mad at God lately. There are some things that I would really like him to give me more clarity on. I know he knows the outcome. I know he knows what steps I need to take but darn it if he won’t give me more than one step at a time. […]

Today I’m headed to Bolivia with some wonderful people led by a great team from Food for the Hungry. We’ll spend this week seeing the work they’re doing in this South American country. Yes, Bolivia is in South America in case you were wondering. I’m be honest, my 4th grade geography failed me on this […]
