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,...

Just Ask

There are places in the Bible where it tells us that if we want something we can simply ask God for it. That's it. Just ask. Look at Matthew 21:22; John 16:23-24; James 1:5. You just ask, knowing that God is good and will give you what you need. Ask in faith, ask...

Different People

In the Bible God tells His people that they are different, and should behave themselves so. We as Christians are to be very different from the world around us. This might cause people to wonder what planet we're from, but God calls us to be different because He calls...
