I love the beginning of the school year because it always brings a sense of optimism and enthusiasm. And, while I love it, I know it doesn’t last. I always joke that I lead the best school in America in the fall semester and the worst in the spring semester—just ask my families. This isn’t […]

I could spend the rest of my life studying Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5, and specifically the Beatitudes, Christ’s statement of those who are blessed in His Father’s Kingdom. Christ sets forth a vision for Kingdom living, a completely different way to live and to view life than the one we’re living […]

As you probably know, yesterday was both Valentine’s Day and Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. One of my wry friends wondered whether he should smear chocolate instead of ashes on his wife’s forehead as a mashup to commemorate the two events. For his sake, I’m hoping he didn’t actually attempt it. When I […]
