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

Just Enough

You've probably prayed for God to keep you from having too little money. But have you ever asked God to keep you from having too much money? In Proverbs 30:7-9, a man named Agur prays for just enough. He asks God to give him enough, to give him his set portion for...
