Throughout this pandemic, prayer has become a greater priority for many. Perhaps, like me, while COVID has disrupted your social life, it hasn’t debilitated you. Meanwhile, you have family and friends who have endured greater hardship, and therefore, they’ve been further impressed upon your heart at this time. So, how do you pray for them? […]
Did you happen to catch this story from news last week? The Los Angeles Police Department posted on social media that one of its stations received a package containing a pair of handcuffs, $100 and an apology letter from a 74 year old man who stole them while watching a scuffle involving an LAPD officer […]
Have you ever watched one of those end of the world movies? It’s crazy watching those crazy theatrical things happen, those movies can be quite the rollercoaster ride of emotions. This past year and a bit had felt like one of those movies eh? Like one that has so many twists that you kind of […]
The apostle Paul said some confusing things. At certain points in his letters, as you a reading along you may begin to wonder if this guy was a little crazy.

I come from a big Italian family. So big that each year we have to rent a hall for our Christmas gatherings to see each other because if we didn’t, there would be no way we could fit in just one person’s house. (Unless someone secretly lives in a mansion and is holding out on […]
