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...

Thankfulness

How Big Is God to You?

God is infinite and perfect. He is ultimate good and never changes, or He would cease to be perfect God. He is greater than even the wildest and most creative imagination can picture and fathom. If you were to see God face to face, you would die from the overwhelming...
