- Daily Devotional, January 13, 2012 "Worth It"1/12/2012 - Racing along the beach as the moonlight hits the water, I dash toward the figure running toward me.

- Daily Devotional, January 12, 2012 "Questions"1/11/2012 - A recent televised interview captured my attention. The author of a controversial book kept responding to questions by saying, “That’s a great question.” And then he would orbit that “great question” without ever landing on an answer. Jesus surely frustrated the “interviewers” who came to see Him in Matthew 21.

- Daily Devotional, January 9, 2012 "Discipline of Secrecy"1/8/2012 - I’m an exhibitionist,” said the surrealist artist Salvador Dali. “Life is too short to remain unnoticed.” And actress Marlene Dietrich once released an album made entirely of the applause recorded at her cabarets—which she frequently played for her friends.

- Daily Devotional, January 5, 2012 "Moral Compass"1/4/2012 - If you’re a hiker who depends on a trusted compass to find your way through the wilderness, it might be time to invest in a GPS device.
