With the constant influx of information and knowledge, why aren't we better at learning? 

If it wasn’t the Tree of Life, the symbol for "People of Hope" would be a three-legged stool. Service would be the seat.  

When we focus only on the changes we want to affect around us, we miss the changes service brings within us. It’s not as easy to measure, but the changes are real. 

I recently suggested that service was the cauliflower of Christianity. Like vegetables, service is something that can be done because it’s good for us, not because we like it. 

We rejoice when prayers are answered, but we know the journey isn’t over. Answered prayers are not the end; they are a hint of what is to come.
