Iron Man 3 kicks off the summer movie season this weekend with another action packed super-hero tale. This one follows Tony Stark after the events of last year’s The Avengers. He’s struggling with what he’s seen and experience in New York fighting aliens, and he’s now worried more than ever about…

It wasn’t until after my kids were in bed Sunday night that I realized, we hadn’t turned the TV on for days! Not a huge feat, I know, but it’s not been the norm. Through this winter that kept on giving our family’s had so many movie nights and clicked through entire seasons of shows on Netflix. The nicer weekend…

Last summer, someone made a wise observation that has stayed with me for weeks – the Church responds swiftly when there’s an acute, immediate need.

I came across this video from Walter Cronkite in 1967. In it, he describes the home of the 21st century. It’s somewhat comical to look at this “home-computing-console”, but when you step back a bit, it was really pretty accurate. We have everything as he describes it.

God has purpose for our lives, and intends for us to feel joy and happiness.
We all have people in our lives who are hard to live with or whom we consider to be obnoxious to be around.
What you focus on while you wait will determine what the season looks like for you.
