Girl vs. Food L.A.
My wife and I have recently been discussing how much we love living in the greater Los Angeles area. For all the classic drawbacks (There’s a lot of smog and traffic and it’s too expensive. I know. Shut up.) L.A. is a remarkable place. Reason #1 for the surge in L.A. love has been our appreciation for the cultural diversity.

Here’s an excerpt I found particularly powerful: Another decade-long lesson has been to wrestle with the hard questions surrounding dementia. For example, I’ve often wondered what my... Read More
While I Was Away…
High school camp and busyness have kept me out of the Story for a couple weeks, but I’m back in the saddle. But before I actually get writing again, I figured I’d pass along my favorite stuff I’ve read from these past couple weeks. ——————————————————— Erik Thoennes, Biola professor extraordinaire, announced and intro-ed his new book from Crossway...
