Branded
I could tell he was more uncomfortable than usual by the way he was seated, leaning forward, head down. His malignant disorder was doing fine, but his body was racked with arthritis. The orthopedic specialist had given up on improving his chronic pain.
The Best Life
My wife had put up with me for many years before I took her to Spain recently on our 50th wedding anniversary. Seville is an amazing town founded by the Phoenicians, developed by the Carthaginians and conquered by the Romans as a sea port in southern Spain before the river connecting it to the ocean silted out.

In Defense of Marriage
I know God does not plan such a union of love for everyone. He has different and important plans for others with the freedom of singleness (1 Corinthians 7:7-8).
A Child’s Prayer
I know some of it is realizing that the child we love has a new connection with the God who may someday become the Lord of his or her life.
More Than Conquerors
How does God’s goodness make us “more than conquerors” (Romans 8:37) when we suffer, whether we ask for the suffering or not?
Politics and Faith
Our faith should certainly impact our politics, but I’m not sure our politics should ever impact our faith. Certainly, politics impact faith for those who are persecuted around the world because of their faith, but that is not how it should be.
The Realist
One of the young doctors I train is an amazingly good doctor and a person of faith. She had a discussion today with a patient who refused the medicine we offered, wanting to wait instead for God’s miracle.
A Second Step
A few weeks ago, he had come to me discouraged that his physical debilitation had taken away his ability to serve the Lord. Today was different. He began to share as I was transcribing his prescriptions.
A Second Baptism

“I’m ready for you to let me go, Doc,” he said.
“You mean to heaven?” I asked.
Heart Words
“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10b, NIV).
“I’m ready for you to let me go, Doc,” he said.
“You mean to heaven?” I asked.
Easter Signals
“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10b, NIV).
“I’m ready for you to let me go, Doc,” he said.
“You mean to heaven?” I asked.
