Welcome to my blog. I mostly write about Christian Living, but I enjoy the Kentucky Wildcats, New Orleans Saints, and a good cup of coffee.

We’ve all found ourselves on an interesting journey over the past months. Covid-19 turned the world upside down and has now become a pretty polarizing topic. It is especially polarizing as restrictions begin to get lifted and people begin to gather in public places again. Some take it very seriously while others don’t think it to be a big deal at all. What I’ve realized is that my prayers are very revealing of how my attitude regarding the pandemic is changing.
About a month ago, I sat down with my friend, Brett Martin, who is one of the most gifted evangelists and hospitable Christians I know. We talked about what it looks like to reach out to others during a time of crisis. It took me far too long to get this out, but I hope you will still find our conversation helpful.
If we’re honest, the quarantined life is a trying one. Who knew that staying in place could be so hard? We are all having to learn a new normal and at times it can be a bit overwhelming. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe for you it has been a breeze. However, from the stories I’ve heard, I’d be willing to be you’ve had a pretty bad day or several since this all began.
One angle I’m sure many believers and unbelievers alike are turning over in their minds is the question, "Where is God in all of this?"Maybe you find yourself asking, "If God is all powerful, why doesn’t he stop this?" Maybe you’re asking, "Why would a loving God allow so many people to die?" Maybe you just wonder, "Is God even real?"
It is sad to say, but we Christians all too often neglect the Word of God. We in the west live in a fast-paced culture. We get too busy at times. We can tend to handle what is most urgent and neglect carving out time to practice those slow and steady spiritual disciplines that are vital for our health in the Christian life…
