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...

In Case You Need to Hear It

In case you need to hear (or read) some things, here they are: Sometimes taking a short break will save you more time than pushing through. Instead of just sitting there and trying to power through a problem, you might just need a few minutes away so you can come back...

I went with a group again this year to the Amazing Grace Children's Home in Mexico (Sublime Gracia Casa Hogar, Facebook link here). We spent time with the children and got to know them, and they got to know us. Everyone absolutely loves it! And if you're someone who...

A Bit on Tithing

Tithing is giving one tenth of your income back to God through your local church. There are a few passages in the Bible where we get the idea of tithing as a good general starting point for giving back to God for all He's given us: Genesis 14:20; Leviticus 27:30;...
