Sometimes it’s hard to pray. Sometimes it feels like you’re repeating words, not talking to a person. From this we may even wonder if our faith is weak.
When that happens, what are we forgetting? What is missing?
Find the Joy of Christmas
Jesus once said, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.”
Do you know that feeling? When the work energizes rather than depletes you? There are days like this. But there are other kinds of days too, when the words of the old carol feel so true:
And ye, beneath life’s crushing load,

20 Truths about Taking Massive Action
One of the best productivity hacks is simply this: Commit to take Massive Action today. Massive Action means “I commit to finish now.” It’s when you take 3-4 hours or a whole day and focus on completing just ONE single goal.
Massive Action creates turning points in life.
Think back to your major turning points — the times your life took a big change for the better.
- You went out and found a new job — and committed to it.
- You started a new relationship and went all-in.
- You decided to start taking your health and your exercise seriously.
- You made something, built something, or wrote a song, an essay, or a book.
Christianity, Humanism, and Civilization
It was just a trailer for a video game. But to me it was something more. The music came from one of my favorite pieces ever. The visuals and narration portrayed the striving of humanity to better itself.
The striking last lines of the video:
“There’s no end to our imagination and no limit to civilization.”
It’s a compelling vision for humanity. It’s also incomplete. The story of mankind needs a hero, and that hero can only be God himself.
