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,...

The Bible Verses Around the Bible Verses

We Christians love to quote Bible verses. We have some favorites: Genesis 1:1, John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 3:23 and 6:23, and many, many others. While these verses are all good, sometimes we don't think about the verses around them. Just as a fun but helpful...

Go Get Your Promises

I'm a little behind on my Bible study homework (One in a Million: Journey to Your Promised Land, by Priscilla Shirer), but that doesn't make it any less good. In the place I'm at, the Israelites have come under the new leadership of Joshua, and it is time to go claim...
