A Word on Hope: Vocation in Light of the Baltimore Riots, Part I of III
Day Laborers by Steve Houston. The riots in Baltimore are about race, equality, and economics, but ultimately, the problem goes deeper than civil or social reform.

Bearing Fruit
There was recently some disagreement between different parties at the college. In my catastrophic thinking, this spelled the doom for our little community. To my delight, I found a number of students who had taken it upon themselves to pray. Seeing them reminded me of God’s sovereignty, and showed me that through His power He had … Continue reading Bearing Fruit
Putting Away the Magic Arts
There were days I made them laugh. There were days I could barely get a snigger. I was the star or I was the dark space between. Was it the shirt I wore? Was it my haircut? Was it my delivery? My desperation? Like Katie Perry’s Hot N Cold, I couldn’t find my place in the world. … Continue reading Putting Away the Magic Arts
