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,...

Jesus, and Peter’s Mother in Law

Last night in the sermon, one of the things mentioned was Jesus healing Peter's mother in law. (Luke 4:38-39) This scene looks somewhat humorous in my mind. Peter's mother in law was dying of a fever, so Jesus rebukes the fever and it leaves. The fever is immediately...

God Knows, But You Still Choose

Whose Opinion Matters?

When you are making a decision, you have a tendency to think about what others will think about your decision, and how it will affect those around you. This is good, but only to a point. When taking the opinions of others into consideration, you will need to decide...

Upside Down or Right Side Up?

I've had a metaphorical picture in my mind of two men walking in opposite directions towards each other, but one of them was upside down. The two men talk about knowing which way is actually right side up. As I was typing this little story, I fleshed it out. So now...

Voids and Vacuums

When you have a completely empty space filled with nothing, you have a void. Because there is nothing in it, it creates a vacuum. The emptiness must be filled with something, so it sucks in anything and everything near it. I find it fascinating that the rules of...
