I don't know if you know this about me but I can be a bit snarky. Shocking, right?! Not really when considering that I grew up in New England and it's second nature. Depending on circumstances I do try to be careful as not everyone can see my face (the Big tell-all), appreciates, or gets … Continue reading

If you want to make God laugh
tell Him your plans. Sometimes God says, "No, I know the plans I have for you, and quite frankly this isn't it" or "Maybe, but not today" or "I have something better in mind, Trust Me" or "I love you". When I started writing this post it was a full on whine because over the … Continue reading If you want to make God laugh

Dave & crew chat with listeners about where they see and experience faith in everyday culture: music, movies, television shows etc. The conversations are … Continue reading Love is…
