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

Have you ever asked a child to pray? Whether it's thanking God for a meal or a bedtime prayer, children are very open and honest in their prayers. They'll talk to God about anything and everything, from not liking to eat their vegetables to giving a detailed account...

Mind Control

A lot of people don't realize that we all have the ability of mind control. Did you know that you can actually, for real, control your own mind? You can tell your own mind what to do and why to do it. We all say rash words, lose our tempers, lash out, and have dirty...

Forgotten Memorial

A memorial is for remembering, but sometimes we forget to remember, or we forget what to remember, or we forget why to remember. Sometimes the memorial becomes more of a token that we just nod to without really thinking about what it means or why we have it. Memorial...
