Haunting Words and Holy Words

August 12, 2014 by Greg Lucas 15 Comments

The dragon of despair is a dreadful beast. He slides and slithers under the smallest of crevices, feasting on hope, faith and love. He leaves corpses wherever he goes, slaying with haunting words of past dead deeds—words that breed the very contempt from which he is made. It’s been nearly five years since I ran into Donald and his aging father while patrolling the mall parking lot in my police … [Read more...]

Agents of Grace

June 10, 2014 by Greg Lucas 19 Comments

We took our son to his annual dentist appointment a few days back. Not really exciting or extraordinary news in the schedule of a typical family. Then again, nothing is typical for our tribe. Autism, PDD, and sensory integration disorder make the dentist office one of the most fearful places on the planet—and not just for Jake.

The Shadow of Suffering and the Presence of God {SpecialNeedsParenting.net}

For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself.  Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death... (2 Corinthians 1:8-9) I do not know exactly what Paul experienced in Asia. I can guess it might have been something comparable to (or worse than) the … [Read more...]

Four Women I Would Like to Thank on January 22

January 14, 2014 by Greg Lucas Leave a Comment

Next week (January 22) is National Sanctity of Human Life Day, which happens to fall on the 41st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the monumental supreme court case legalizing abortion. For some Christians this is just a week set aside on the calendar when the church recognizes the atrocity of abortion. The pastor preaches from Psalm 139 while citing a myriad of numbers and statistics. The congregation … [Read more...]
