“Seek Him Expectantly” by J.M. Farro
My favorite time of the day is the morning, when I get to spend some time with the Lord in His presence and His Word. I get still before Him, and I talk to Him about anything and everything. I’ve discovered that if I approach God with an attitude of […]
“Pop Rally Tour Days 7 and 8 – Tourists!!” by The Great Transparency
Well, it’s official. If our band wasn’t the biggest collection of fans of The Office, then I don’t know who is. Our stop today in Scranton, PA was certainly a memorable one. From eating lunch at the famous Alfredo’s Pizza Cafe, to Chris getting pictures of every landmark that the […]
“Pop Rally Tour Day 6 – goodbye Maryland, hello PA” by The Great Transparency
My greetings and salutations come to you today from Tommy’s Grandparent’s house in historic Canonsburg, PA, which of course is where the first modern Canon was used in combat, as well as photography. Anyone catch the funny there? Monday, the tour stopped in Elkton, MD, a lovely town just minutes […]
“Standing Out for Christ” by J.M. Farro
There are things that you and I can do right now to reach more people for Christ than ever before, including our families. One of them is to get serious about reducing our complaining and arguing. We live in a thankless world. And as a result, most people spend more […]

“The Power of Positive Speech” by J.M. Farro
My husband, Joe, and I have been raising pet ducks for many years, and we’ve had our male duck, Larry, for 10 of those years. Every molting season, Larry loses all of his brightly-colored, iridescent feathers, and for a time, he looks woefully scraggly. He hangs his head low, and […]
We Recommend: Jars Of Clay, “Much Afraid”
Much Afraid was actually one of the first albums I really got into. Although Jars Of Clay’s sophomore project isn’t as predominant as their classic self-titled debut, it still manages to stand on its feet. The first half of the album features great pop rock tunes like “Overjoyed,” “Fade To Grey,” and […]
