I know that some of you have really got it together when it comes to prayer. You can pray over a Big Mac as eloquently as one would thank God for Filet Mignon. I’m not that way. In fact, I’m one fry short of a Happy Meal when it comes to saying the right thing. I’ve...

It used to be that I was a once-a-week cleaner if that. My bedroom back home was a disaster, and everyone knew it. When my clothes came off at night, they hit the floor, and that’s where they stayed until my parents forced me to clean up my room. My bed was a...
