Thank God, last week I was able to spend several hours after work at Pacifica church to pseudo-attend EWR (and enjoy delicious free dinners). Below is my attempt at contributing a devotional, which is something I have not done in awhile. The process of editing/peer review was refreshingly rigorous and is something that I had …

We all know the story of when Jesus walked on water. Jesus had just fed the 5000 and sent them away, and He asked his disciples to go ahead of Him to the other side of the water while He prayed. As evening came, there was a storm, and it was at this time that …

Committing Unconditionally

“So I bought her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver…  And I said to her, ‘You shall stay with me many days; you shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a man—so, too, will I be toward you.’” Hosea 3:2 In the Old Testament God commanded Hosea to love his adulteress wife …

Lessons from EWR (English Writer's Reteat)
