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,...

“Listen to Me!”

My brain has been filled with a lot of information today. Among that information is something that I already knew, but it has become clearer and more readily explainable. One of the things that people want more than anything is to be heard. People have a deep seated...

Children’s Version – Feeding of the Five Thousand

In Sunday School, the two and three year olds have been learning about Jesus feeding five thousand people (Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:32-44; Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-13). A little boy shared his lunch with Jesus, and Jesus made a miracle. To see how much they've learned...

Equal, Same, Different

We talk a lot about equality. But sometimes we mix up equality and sameness as if they both mean the same thing. Sameness is when something is identical to another thing. For example, two blue triangles of exactly the same size and dimension; or three green squares of...
