I don’t think of my "bucket list" as something I want to do before I die. Because that’s a really long list. There’s a lot to do in the world, and less time to do it than we think. But I do have a sort of bucket list for our family. It’s a list of […]
I’m in a hotel in Washington DC, about to get a couple hours of sleep before I fly to Ethiopia in the morning with Help One Now. I should be sleeping but I’m not . . . kept awake by a heady mix of excitement and nerves. Tonight our team assembled in the hotel lobby […]

We value honesty with each other and are trying to teach our kids that honesty is always the best choice. We want to be the kind of […]
This guest post is by Wesley Hall. It is a repost from last year because I think it bears repeating in light of current events. Man, I’m just glad I had a mom who gave me the realness from a young age. I can remember thinking she was so stuck in the past for telling me that […]
