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,...

After Missions Conference

Profound and Obvious

Sometimes I come across things that are greatly obvious and greatly profound at the same time. Avoid poor advice. You can't come back if you don't leave. You can't return unless you've already been there before. "All things were made by him; and without him was not...

Religious Tooth-Brushing

I have a dentist appointment today, and it got me thinking about how we sometimes think of and treat God and church attendance. When I was a kid I would brush my teeth twice before going to the dentist, as if that would somehow help me. After the appointment I would...

True Confession

A point  in the sermon yesterday convicted me, and I wanted to share. Many times when we pray to ask God's forgiveness, we say things like, "If I have done something today," or, "For all I've done to disappoint You," or something else vague in nature. While we should...
