Want to Get Wet?

I just returned from a wonderful week of vacation in the mountains of North Carolina. We had an amazing time and I'm looking forward to sharing bits of what God showed me in the weeks ahead.

But for now, as promised, today is the launch of the new and improved Out of the Boat. I'm keeping the most popular topics, scaling back on a few posts, and adding a new feature that I hope you'll enjoy.

Here's what you can expect when you stop by.

Tuesday: Walking on Water ~ Where our faith gets its feet wet. These are the lessons I'm learning as I live where fear and faith collide. Some lessons are fun. Some poignant. All of them are glimpses of God's grace.

Every other Thursday: Riding the Rapids ~ Where truth splashes us with fresh grace and fiction keeps us hanging on for the ride. These are the books, Bible studies, and experiences that are informing my journey-and keeping it fun!

Saturday: Currents ~ Where wonders and weirdness collide. I hope this makes you curious...check back in on Saturday for the first installment!
