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...

New Year, New Schedule

Once again, I find myself changing my blog schedule. I'll be posting my blogs on Tuesday, since my new schedule this year allows better writing time on that day. Speaking of new schedules, this past year has been full of changes for me. I went from one job to another,...

An Allegory on Judgement and Mercy

On Building Walls

I'm not trying to be political, just in case you were wondering. I'm just going to talk about the different times when boundaries are good and when they are not. Many walls have been built historically. A few that come to mind are the Berlin Wall, the Great Wall of...
