There’s a huge empty field next to my church. It catches on fire every summer. I’ve talked about it before, but I don’t know if I’ve told you what happens after the fire. Without fail, the field catches on fire every summer. Without fail, bushes of Easter lilies pop up all over the field. It’s […]
The Case for Waiting (No, I’m not twiddling my thumbs)
“Stop waiting!” they exclaim to the single, usually Christian, ladies. “Live your life!” What in the world do you think I’m doing? Twiddling my thumbs?!?
