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,...

Shoes of Peace Are for Moving Forward

We call them the Shoes of Peace, but let's not forget that Paul says "the preparation of the gospel of peace." These shoes are for peace and readiness. These shoes are for you to wear so you can readily share the gospel, the good news! These shoes are for steady...

The Breastplate of Righteousness

Time to share what I'm learning in "The Armor of God" Bible study again! Remember when I talked about this armor being God's armor, and how it's heavy? Well, wearing God's righteousness is a pretty significant thing to do. We can't carry it, we can't wear it, not with...

Heavy Stuff

We're getting to more armor pieces! The kiddos learned about the Breastplate of Righteousness last night, and the ladies are learning about it today! But let's talk about how heavy armor is. If you want strong armor, it needs to be heavy armor. You'll need multiple...

Girded with Truth

So far I am still loving the ladies' Bible study! This last session we learned about being girded with truth and having a strong core. Being girded implies wearing a belt. It can also imply the tucking of a long robe into the belt so the wearer can run with agility...
