Sin Like Germs

Sin can be like germs. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there. It only takes a little bit to make a surface unusable or a food inedible. It only takes a little to make you and those around you sick. If you don't clean properly with something that...

Time for a Change and Some Balance Adjustment

I talked about possibly changing the blog post schedule in Season of Change. That time has come. I have had to admit to myself that I cannot (currently anyway) keep up with two posts a week anymore. I'm sad about it (and I cried just a little bit), but it's time I...

Notes in the Form of Advice

Growing in Understanding

Last night at church we had a missionary speaking. He and his family are from Mexico and are serving God in Kansas. We had a translator for him, and as I sat listening, two things stuck out more than anything else. One, the phrase, "Haz lo correcto!" or, "Do what is...
