Perfect – Are You a Perfect Person?
By CBM National intern, Paul Daly -
Are you a perfect person? What about your life, is that perfect, too? Do you live in a perfect house with a perfect family that you are supporting with your perfect job? I hope the answers to these questions are obvious: NO. Nothing is totally perfect.
“Imperfection” really bothers me. In fact, I had a clever blog post all written out for you before this one, but the topic was sticky, the post was long, and my sentences didn’t make sense, so I scrapped it and wrote about something else. The post didn’t seem “perf...
CBM Intern – All the Right Pieces
By CBM National intern, - Jordan Mancari
If you were to meet me today, you'd probably say some things like this: "He's a nice guy. He is very open to meeting new people, and willing to step out." However, it wasn't always like that.
When I was in high school, and even somewhat in college, I was that kid who sat in the back row, and could honestly care less about what anyone thought about me.

Big Faith
By CBM National intern, Timmy Martens -

In our discussion, somehow the topic of faith was brought up.
“It really depends on how big your God is.”
That was the sentence that got the ...

By CBM National intern, - Stephanie Schwan

God's provision

Teamwork -Two are Better than One, Three are even Better
By CBM National intern, - Mark Martens
John Donne states in one of his poems,
“No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.”
If there is one thing this rotation has reminded me of, it’s the importance of teamwork. Now don’t get me wrong, I have known about teamwork for a while, but God has made its importance rather evident to me recently. In the past, there have been times I have tried to do things on my own, but every time I have done this, it usually has not ended well for ...
