Deity Becoming Humanity

There is something so other about Jesus Christ coming to us as a baby. It's strange, it's wonderful, it's holy, it's contradictory. God became human while still being God. Lately the weightiness of this has been on my mind. Jesus is God, and He limited His power and...

A Few Things to Remember When Life Gets Hectic

Stop and breathe several deep, deep breaths. Talk with God about the problem(s). Scream into a pillow if you need to. Go for a run, a brisk walk, or do some other exercise to get out the pent up energy. Jesus did not promise us lives of ease, but He did promise to...

Quiet Thankfulness

I see I've missed posting another Thursday, but this time I'm giving myself an excuse because I was enjoying a holiday with family and friends. That holiday was Thanksgiving, and I found myself having a nice quiet time. While having that nice quiet time, I felt...

Avoiding Punishment, or Doing the Right Thing?

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...
