I will not leave you orphaned; I am coming to you. ~John 14:18
It’s a promise Jesus makes before he ascends to heaven. We will never be orphaned. He is coming to us. We will never be alone.
To many, orphaned is a foreign word. We may hear it often but we don’t really know what it means. Maybe the only experience we’ve had with the word is one from the big screen – that spunky little girl with curly red hair. You know – the one who wins the love of Daddy Warbucks? That’s right …...

I can’t stand your religious meetings.
I’m fed up with your conferences and conventions.
I want nothing to do with your religious projects,

I’m always excited to meet new authors, especially new authors who are pastors, and especially new authors, who are pastors, who publish with my friends at New Hope, who has published all mybooks. I was asked a few months ago to consider endorsing a book by Dr. Tony Merida, entitled,Orphanology, to be released in 2011. I read through the draft and came away very impressed and inspired. It is a thorough handbook on the theology and practice of adoption. For anyone needing a...

Our family is pretty pumped about this year’s Christmas project!
The needs of people in Haiti have been a special focus for us this year, and my son Samuel (the cute, red-headed one) really wanted to do something special for the kids down there. When I told him about a way that we could help build a playground, he just knew that was what he wanted to give to some Haitian orphans for Christmas.
