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,...

Sometimes God gives us the direct, go get it kind of way. He lays it out, clears the way, and says, "Go!" At other times God takes us the long way around, like He did with the children of Israel in Exodus 13:17-18. When God takes you the long way around, don't worry....

Tough Decisions

Sometimes God tells you to make a decision that you don't like. Sometimes He tells you to make a decision that someone else doesn't like. Sometimes He tells you to make a decision that multiple people don't like. Sometimes He tells you to make a decision that no one...

Knowing Everything

I like to know things. I say I wouldn't want to know everything because that would be too much, but I certainly act like I want to know everything. Sometimes I act like I do know everything. But I ask questions all the time. Sometimes I ask unnecessary questions...
