I’m currently heading to, in or on my way back from Bolivia. The internet access (along with my time) is a little more sketchy there than here in the States. So I’m re-posting a few of mine and your favorite posts from the last year or so. PS – There is a new ending to […]
Goliath Principle: There’s always another giant.

The Weight of Fear (Don’t be afraid!)
Pick-up Sticks There is a story in the bible about the great prophet Elijah. A famine ravaged the land – no rain fell for 3+ years. Along with the rest of the nation, Elijah was hungry. He visits a widow who is gathering sticks for a fire. While performing this chore, she is planning the […]
A crazy branch in the Bondurant family tree.
Lawless Start with this thought. What do you do with gut-wrenching, bone-crushing heartbreak? Now, transition to this (don’t worry, we’ll be back)… This weekend, Kia and I (re)watched the movie Lawless.

Then Grace.
One of those days. Yesterday was one of those days. Normally, I like to be up by 6:30 on days I work (being a pastor, I work on Sundays). I read my bible, read the news, and slowly make my way out of bed. To make sure I’m up, I set my alarm the night before, […]
