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,...

Last week I was listening to one of the Christian radio stations in my area. I forget the name of the man speaking, but he brought up an important point about forgiveness. In the Bible God says that if someone has something against you or you have something against...

The Cost of Maintenance

Doing What Is Right

It's difficult to do what's right. Even a child can tell you. A child actually has told me. The rules are simple, the way to follow the rules is simple but, "It's really hard to be good." We humans are not naturally obedient to God. Fortunately we have God's help....

Lord of My Life

When Jesus saves you, He redeems you; He purchases you back. You were already His because He made you, then He bought you back from the slavery of sin. So now you belong to Him twice! Isn't that awesome? (1 Corinthians 6:12-20, specifically vs. 19-20) So when Jesus...

Studying the Bible

As children of God we should pay attention to what our Father says to us. An enormous part of that means we need to know the Bible that God wrote. While we should read all of it, I don't mean to say do it just once and never again. Reading the Bible regularly is...
