I'm sure it's partly due to my position and partly my personality, but most people consider me to have things clicking on all cylinders (spiritually) all the time.  The truth is, I struggle (church code for "fail") with the same things you do to varying degrees.  The key is the fight.  We must battle for … Continue reading Family Worship Doesn’t Have to Intimidate!
