Doing Without

For the past week and a half or so, I've been without my laptop. I've been able to occupy myself just fine, but this has shown me just how many things I have on my computer, and how easy it is for me to spend time on my computer when I could be doing other things....

Book Metaphors

I came across an entry in one of my notebooks, and it was good to be reminded that God is the Author of life, and He knows how to write and finish good stories. When life happens and things change, whether we like those things or not, we need to turn the page. And...

Looking Back Again

Round about a year ago, I was looking for a new job, a new place to live, and a new direction in my life. Now I have two jobs, a place to live, and enough direction to figure out where I should probably head from here. I'm probably going to sound like a broken record...

A Few More Notes on Faith

I've shared notes on faith before (Notes on Faith), and I have a few more. Familiarity doesn't mean faith. Just because you're used to God and church doesn't mean they actually mean anything to you. Minimum provisions give the opportunity for maximum faith. The...

A Bit on Repentance

I've recently come across some good lessons and information about repentance, so I'd like to share. Reform does not equal regeneration, and remorse does not equal repentance. Repentance demands and is change. It is a deliberate change. Before the truth sets you free,...

I've had a few things on my mind lately, and in case you wanted to read them I'll put them here. Whether it's a sin or a virtue, it is unhealthy to deny something about yourself or pretend it isn't there. Denying a sin means you won't confront and get rid of it....

A Nap and a Snack

God knows what you need all the time, and He will make sure you have what you need in life when you need it. Even something as simple as a nap and a snack. In 1 Kings 19, the prophet Elijah has just been a part of God showing He was real and not the false god that the...

Random Descriptions from the Bible

Lately I've been thinking about all the different things in the Bible, and figured I'd list a few random ones and see if you can guess who the people are and where in the Bible the accounts are found. I'll put the Scripture references in parentheses at the end of each...

A Bit on Homelessness

We've been having a seminar at my church about ministering to the homeless. I thought I'd share some of the things I've learned after two sessions. Homelessness isn't the problem, it's the symptom. Most homeless people have some sort of mental health issue and/or...
