Pray with me May 20, 2026 Jesus, Son of the Living God, King above every king and Name above every name, we adore You today. You are the Word made flesh, full of grace and truth. You stepped into our brokenness and carried what we could never carry ourselves. You walked among the weary, touched the forgotten, healed the wounded, and loved the unlovable. You are gentle with the humble and fierce against darkness. You are the Lion and the Lamb, holy beyond comprehension, yet near enough to hear the faintest cry of a desperate heart. Lord Jesus, You are not merely a teacher of truth, You are Truth itself. You are not merely a way forward, You are the Way. In a world filled with noise, confusion, and shifting shadows, You remain constant, faithful, and eternal. We adore You for the cross, where mercy and justice embraced. We adore You for the empty tomb, where death lost its victory forever. We adore You because You did not abandon us to fear, shame, or sin, but called us sons and daughters through Your redeeming love. You are the Shepherd who still pursues wandering hearts. You are the Bread that satisfies starving souls. You are the Living Water that never runs dry. You are the resurrection and the life. Jesus, every crown belongs at Your feet. Every breath belongs to Your glory. Every part of our lives belongs in surrender to You. Teach us to love what You love. Break what needs breaking within us. Shape us into people who reflect Your heart in a dark world. May our lives become living songs of adoration. Not just words from our mouths, but surrender from our hearts. We praise You for who You are, not merely for what You give. And even if the whole world grows silent, let our souls never stop declaring: Worthy is the Lamb who was slain. Worthy is the risen King. Worthy is Jesus. Amen

Today I’m thankful that I had a mother who prayed for me. I believe the prayers of a mother echo farther than we can ever imagine. Happy Mother’s Day to the women who hold families together, carry burdens nobody sees, love without keeping score, and quietly pour themselves out day after day. The world keeps moving because mothers keep doing what moms do.

Pray with me May 3, 2026 Father God, Your Word says in Psalm 34:18 that You are near to the brokenhearted, so I ask You to come near to me in this moment. When my heart feels heavy and my hope feels distant, remind me of the promise of Jeremiah 29:11, that You have plans for me, plans for good and not for harm, plans to give me a future and a hope. Lord, steady my mind and quiet my fears. Guide my steps when I cannot see the way, just as You promise in Proverbs 3:5-6. Teach me to trust You even here, even now. Fill me again with Your peace, the kind that does not make sense to the world, but holds me together from the inside out. Give me strength for today, and faith for tomorrow. I am not abandoned. I am not forgotten. I am Yours. In Jesus’ name, Amen

Sometimes I feel like Tarzan...One of the lessons I want my kids to remember from the crazy life their Dad has lived: There is a point in every person’s life when they have to let go of the vine they’ve been swinging on and clinging to, even though they don’t have ahold of the next one yet. You can’t cling to the same vine forever, and you can’t get to where God wants to take you without that terrifying moment of free fall. You have to trust that the next vine will be there waiting for you, even before you've identified it, and you have to trust in the One who put it there.

Pray 🙏

This is an amazing watch, her journey from witchcraft to Jesus is incredibly inspiring and so lovely. Keep it up @blurrycreatures, love you “boys!” 😊💕

At the very moment that Augustus is making decrees as the ruler of the known world, and Herod is seething in his palace, God enters stage right. Not on the clouds, asserting his power and dominance, not with all the strength and might he rightly has. But in humility. Doing so with a profound statement that he is turning all our preconceived notions completely upside down. One of the most beautiful, yet often overlooked, components to this story is Mary’s reaction to the news of her Son. In church tradition we call her carol The Magnificat: “My soul exalts the Lord, and my spirit has begun to rejoice in God my Savior, because he has looked upon the humble state of his servant.  For from now on all generations will call me blessed, because he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name; from generation to generation he is merciful to those who fear him.  He has demonstrated power with his arm; he has scattered those whose pride wells up from the sheer arrogance of their hearts.  He has brought down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up those of lowly position; he has filled the hungry with good things, and has sent the rich away empty.  He has helped his servant Israel, remembering his mercy, as he promised to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.” (Luke 1:46-55) Amidst all the interpretations of Christmas that we hear at this time of year from clergy, advertisers, politicians, and journalists, we might benefit from listening to the mother who sits at the centre of it all. According to Mary, Christmas is about God scattering the proud, bringing down unjust rulers, lifting up the humble. It’s about God turning things upside down— which ironically is the right way up to begin with. And God accomplishes all of this not “from on high,” like the decree of Augustus, or the brutality of Herod; instead, God achieves his purposes from below in the lowliness of a manger. With shepherds, livestock, and foreign magi as the first witnesses.  Christmas is about God turning things upside down—which ironically is the right way up to begin with.  Every detail about the Christmas story (and the subsequent life of Jesus as well), states that God will reverse the mess and do so by first getting his own hands dirty. God conquers by humbling himself, he will heal by being wounded, he will save us by sacrificing himself. The manger is a throne, and works as a beacon of how God intends to turn everything upside down. Grace triumphs over dominance, mercy over force, and Mary’s song will be the world’s song. Joy will pierce through the sorrow and sadness, fully and forever.

Grateful for this space, Happy Thanksgiving friends!

I was today years old when I learned about Cloudflare’s lava lamp encryption key generator. 🤪

It would be a huge mistake to keep thinking of China as the same cyber threat actor we were dealing with ten years ago. Let's talk about it. See you on Thursday for a more in-depth discussion. events.zoom.us/ev/AhsoFeh2OO…
