My Grandpa loved crossword puzzles. On my visit to Washington earlier this month, I was looking through one of the last crossword puzzles he worked on before he passed away. Puzzle 90.

The Father Who Sees
I've been reflecting on the heart and character of God, one attribute at a time. He gave me a new song months ago, more of an anthem maybe, that declares He is the Father who hears, sees, knows, cares, heals and loves.

Sometimes the goal, the big picture, the finish line can be overwhelming. I can feel frozen, stuck, numb. I forget that there's a simple next step to take. One foot … Continue reading One Foot in Front of the Other
