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,...

It’s Okay To Be Sad

No one likes to be sad. We try to avoid pain and misery as much as possible. But sometimes bad things will happen to you, and you will be sad. The key is finding comfort in the middle of all the sadness. Though we do mourn, we were not made to stay miserable; comfort...

Use Your Words Wisely

We all use words, whether spoken and written or not. You can tell a lot about someone by how they use their words. Their actions will speak louder, of course, but words will still tell you quite a bit (Luke 6:45). In James 3, we read about the tongue and the mouth....

Different Experience, Same Grace

The Sunday School series at my church has been in Mark. Yesterday morning we were in Mark 8:22-26, where Jesus healed a blind man. But He didn't heal the man the way He had healed others. Jesus healed the blind man by degrees. Jesus had His reasons for doing this. In...

Holiness and Happiness

God doesn't want you to be happy. There, that's a good way to start! God doesn't want you to be happy, He wants you to be holy. You should be more like God every day. You should consciously walk with Him every day. You should grow in faith and wisdom. Listen to Him,...

Be Still and Know

The sermon yesterday morning was from Psalm 46. I want to share part of my notes on verse 10. "Be still" - Let go, let your hands down. Relax. "And know" - You relax so you can learn more about God. You let go to know. Be still so you can know. This verse means that...
