(From the Chronicles of the Twelve Gates of Twenty-Six) Dear 2026, I had already expressed my excitement about going to Zebulun’s Courtyard in my last letter.

(From the Chronicles of the Twelve Gates of Twenty-Six) Dear 2026, January was right! February did come to escort me from the House of Judah to Issachar’s home.

"Oh, she's so horrible for doing that." "I always knew he wasn't a true believer." "So, even pastors do this too?" "What a disappointment, such a lack of shame for a minister." ​How often have these very words, these judgements, formed in your mouth and heart? ​More often than we care to admit, right? ​It's … Continue reading From The Sidelines: A Call to Grace →
