It's spring break, and we are in the desert for a few days. Why? People who live at 7,000 feet don't ask. Because last week my yard got another 7 inches of snow; 3 more are due tonight.
So, we ran away. To the desert. The desert was... READ MOREJohn Eldredge
Okay, I love this holiday. St Patrick was a warrior, sent into a raging pagan country to bring a Gospel of Life and Freedom. He gave the Irish a Story that put all other stories in context; he gave a passionate people a Gospel of the heart. He...

It's Sunday. Stasi and I were just sitting in my office at home, talking about the fact that this is the week we start the Love and War Tour. I said, "Okay. Anything funky between us this week," (I was already feeling the funkiness, the "you...

Every year, on New year's Day, I try and take some time to be with God, and ask him a few questions.
First thing I'll do is sanctify the coming year to Jesus. I'll pray to consecrate every day and every moment of the new year; I'll... READ MOREJohn Eldredge

Well, Stasi and I have been up for most of the night.
Not because of excitement (today is a big day!). Not because we ate too many bratwurst (they were really good, especially with mustard). The reason was attack. The... READ MOREJohn Eldredge

Most of you have probably seen by now the commercials comparing the Mac to the PC. “Hello. I’m a Mac.” “And I’m a PC.” (If you haven’t, you can watch them on the Apple website.) They are funny; they are clever; and they are absolutely brilliant...
