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,...

Of More Value Than Many Sparrows

Jesus says in the Bible that God knows all about the sparrows, and that if He knows about the sparrows, think of how much He knows about you. (Matthew 10:29-31; Luke 12:6-7) As a side note, I notice Jesus said this after talking about who you should and should not...

God’s Battle Strategies

God can use tactics or instructions that make sense to us, but He often does not. God can use a certain tactic or instruction more than once, but He usually does not. He always acts in line with who He is and how He has revealed Himself to us in His Word, but God is...

Shepherd on the Mountain and in the Valley

In ladies' Bible study last week, we were learning about Jesus saying "I AM the Good Shepherd." We learned about what shepherds in Israel did and where they would take their sheep. We got to see what the terrain looked like. The mountains are great vantage points, yet...

Context

As humans, we take sets of words or actions out of context. Sometimes we do this without knowing there is other context. Sometimes we do this so we can twist things into what we want to see or hear. We don't even twist things to look bad every time; sometimes we twist...
