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,...

I found something I'd written on my computer back in 2013, and part if it actually became a Facebook post not long afterwards, but I was surprised to find I'd never actually talked about this on my blog. We were made to be ruled. (Very minor spoiler alert for The...

Custom Made

God doesn't make people like we make things in factories. God doesn't make people like we make cookies. God has no assembly lines, God has no cookie cutters. Each person that exists is a new, never before seen, custom built, one of a kind, particularly specialized...

When Chains and Bonds Are Good

There are many things in life that we consider bonds, but whether these bonds are good or bad depends on what they are and why they are. Being bound can mean you are held back from something good. It can mean you are being held against your will. It can mean you are...
