In 2019 along with all the other Netflix bingers, I was fascinated, and borderline obsessed, with the Netflix original series “Tidying Up with Marie Kondo." It was a classic makeover show, but it felt a little different. Marie Kondo would come into a disorganized home, help the family clean out the clutter by guiding them...

Friends in Christ,
I hope that you and all your friends and family on the Gulf Coast were safe and secure as Hurricane Ida passed through, leaving destructive flooding and wind damage in its wake. I praise God that my in-laws, who live in a New Orleans suburb, just happened to be here visiting us in Flower Mound when the storm struck! My prayer is that all the people you love were able to evacuate or find a place of refuge to ride out the storm.
Hurricane Ida’s death-toll is still...

Until recently, I considered myself an open book. Even today, I honestly answer any questions without hesitation about sex, politics, religion, all of the heavy-hitter topics....

Rev. Karen Chraska shares what it means to her when she says, "Jesus is Lord."
In G.F. Handel’s oratorio “Messiah” my favorite and the most thrilling part from the Hallelujah Chorus is when the chorus sings, “King of King and Lord of Lords!” It gives me goose bumps every time. I believe these words, taken directly from Revelation 19:16, are true. In Confirmation classes I have taught students that Jesus is Lord. In seminary I had to...
