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,...

Expecting the Unexpected

When God works He often does something no one expected. When God promised Abraham a son, Abraham and his wife were well past child-bearing age. One of the times the children of Israel needed deliverance in the book of Judges, God called a poor, unsure man, and pared...

Immanent God

We sometimes treat our relationship with God as if it is long distance. So we treat prayers like phone calls, or e-mails, or sending a message by dove. But we are not in a long distance relationship with God! If you are saved, God is immanent - He is within you. In...
