Thankful for my Kids

IMG_5103

Today I just want to write something profound but close to home.  In my continued attitude of gratefulness, I want to tell the world, I'm thankful for my kids.  From 15 years old down to six, These five fill my life with incredible adventure.  

Whether we're preparing for the latest military training class, playing video games in the living room, snowboarding in Colorado, surfing in Mexico, or just hanging out together; I'm thankful for the Braner Party of 7.  You guys are awesome!!

They've long given up merely loving people as they try desperately to find common threads of existence. Now, there are people who are intentionally trying to develop relational needs, emotional needs, and critical care methods to begin healing the great divide plaguing their communities. As I sit and listen to Christians giving to Jews, and Jews giving to Muslims, and Muslims giving to Christians all around; there's a sense that our world back home is in need of learning how to love intentionally. This region is giving...

Can Dinner With Friends Be Like Heaven? I've been in Amman Jordan for the last few days setting up The KIVU Gap Year internship programs. If you don't know about The KIVU Gap Year, it's a year long program for Highs School graduates to travel the world, work in different cultures, develop a network of friends around the globe, and most importantly; see a REAL worldview out of the classroom. In any event, Last night I had a chance to sit down with some of our exchange students who have been at KIVU in the summertime. Sami, Rasha, Reem, Luke and I were at the top of a restaurant overlooking Amman, having the conversation of a lifetime. We talked about Middle East politics among young professionals, we spoke of career paths for these three bright young people, and we ended with a deep question, "How is God moving in your life?" After sharing our spiritual growth, it...
