Life as I see it
One of the best articles I’ve read in a long time on the topics of work, vocation, worship, life, God, Christianity, etc. Here’s a brief quote:
If the only category you have for the Lord’s work is Christian ministry, it won’t take long for you to functionally disconnect your life’s vocation from your life’s mission — to make much of God. All work is God’s work — prepared by him, carried out by faith in him, and done before him and for him.
The Black Hills was hit with an incredible blizzard this past weekend, dropping three to four feet of snow, breaking lots of trees, knocking out power, collapsing buildings, and shutting down roads and everything else. Here are some photos from our perspective in Spearfish.

Why you shouldn’t stop reading your Bible: Six Benefits of Ordinary Daily Devotions
Just finished reading It’s Not About the Bike by Lance Armstrong, published in 2000 after he won his first Tour de France. What made it a challenging read was wondering which parts were true and which were false, especially the parts where he condemned and denied doping, knowing now that he was actually taking part.
Still, the story of his battle with cancer was an eye-opener, and despite the doping he’s still a pretty tough cyclist who worked his tail off to achieve what he did on the bike. Maybe the book is a good reminder that every one of us is deeply flawed. Yeah, every one of us.
