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...

Defiling the Temple

God cares about your spirit. God cares about your soul. God cares about your mind. God cares about your emotions. God cares about your body. You, as a whole being, are created by Him and belong to Him. You, as a whole being, are loved by Him. Further, in the Bible we...

What If…?

Sometimes we are concerned about the "what ifs" of life. Sometimes we think of inconveniences and how to prepare if they happen. But sometimes we become worried with the worst "what ifs" we can imagine. What if something bad happens to me? What if something bad...
