Tonight I was humbled when I read about continued religious persecution in India on Persecution Blog. One of the two stories is extra poignant for me.
Seven young women from Gospel for Asia Bible college were “sharing the love of Christ.” Then a government official began to argue with them. He confined them to one room for [...]

I thought it might be fun to do some Q&A here at Hope Road. I’ve never done it before. I always enjoy it when other bloggers do Q&A. So here’s your chance. What to know what I think about… say… peanut butter? Curious what my favorite movie is? You’ve got questions, I’ve got answers.

I’ve made my decision. I will not be taking this job.
It was quite the process to come to that choice. I was really interested in the position, and it sounded like something I would love. But there were too many other factors - logistical and financial mostly - that would have made it unwise for [...]

You all are so encouraging! Thank you for your kind comments and prayers. I really appreciate it.

Earlier today, I was offered a job out-of-state. I need to make a decision by tomorrow evening. The job is something I think I would really enjoy, and it begins late this summer. It’s a one-year commitment.
I’m thinking of taking it. But I want to consider both options carefully. I would appreciate your prayers as [...]
