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,...

Some Things About the New Year

Recently I have learned and considered that there are some things we think and feel about a new year that could use some more thought. "New year, new me!" Just because the year is new doesn't automatically mean I suddenly am or am going to be a better person. It...

If I Were There

Recently at church some of our kids sang "If I Were There", a song wondering what one might do if they were there for the birth of Jesus Christ. It's gotten me wondering what I'd think and do if I were there. Would I have the knowledge I do now and just effectively...

A Few Notes to Think About

I was looking through some notes again, and found a few to think about. Jesus is always with you. Where do you take Him? The people in the Bible had struggles, too. They are not stained-glass saints that didn't struggle like we do. If you're not getting into God's...

Jeremiah’s Call and Struggle

I've been reading in the book of Jeremiah in my Bible reading lately, and that man went through quite a bit. God called Jeremiah to be a prophet to people who wouldn't listen to him, and said as much to Jeremiah. God also assured Jeremiah He would be with him through...

But I’m Not One of *Those* Christians

Sometimes I notice a lot of people who say they're Christian getting upset over things that either they shouldn't be upset about, or they're getting upset the wrong way about it. Some of these people don't just claim to be Christians, they actually are Christians!...
