It Is Written Keep alert, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love. —1 Corinthians 16:13-14 (NRSV) Every man needs a place to recharge. A spot to reflect, regroup, and, let’s be honest—escape for a little “man time.” That’s the idea behind the ever-popular “man cave.” It’s a space where men can be men, away from the pressures of the world. Sounds…

Holy Highway RV Gatherings: Uniting Faith and Fellowship

We were sitting in our peaceful pasture imagining what a covered dish supper would be like when this strange idea occurred to us.

That’s when this crazy idea occurred to me. The Crazy Idea What…

There’s nothing funny about it;…
