Just Wondering

I have things about the Bible that I wonder sometimes. They're not doctrinally important so the Bible doesn't give answers, so I just wonder for fun. If you're curious, here are a few. In the book of Ruth, was Ruth's and Boaz's relationship as romantic as my 21st...

Glory, Irony, and a Crying Savior

I'm late to write this blog, but this time it feels like more of a good thing than usual because I have some things to share from the sermon tonight that I might not have shared this soon otherwise. We were in Mark 15:15-32. The crucifixion of Christ has some glorious...

In Court and On Trial

A few days ago someone was talking about how God is the judge in the courtroom of life, and we can try to put Him on trial as if we're the judge, but we can't do that because we're not the judge. Then I started thinking about what it looks like when people try to...

Taste and See

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...

Divine Interruption

We have plans and things to do. We do some of these things every day. We do some of these things on special occasions. Some of these things aren't done yet. But sometimes God interrupts us - or at least that's how we see it. In the midst of our busy day, in the midst...
