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,...

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...

How Did Joseph Feel in Egypt?

I was talking to a friend about Christians going out and telling people about Jesus. We're supposed to do this, on purpose and all the time. We're not supposed to be obnoxious about it, but we are supposed to go tell people about Jesus. Then that's it, the rest is...

Speaking the Language

When you talk to people about Jesus, it goes much better if you do it in a language with which they are familiar. I don't just mean the language they were born into, I also mean their culture, and I mean the way each person processes information and how they think...

Christianese

Sometimes we Christians say words that non-Christians don't understand, but sometimes we don't understand them either. They've just become buzz words that we throw around and feel good about. Go do some digging about these words, even if you think you know what they...

A Seed Will Grow Where a Seed Will Grow

While I was out in Mexico last week with a group (see previous post) and we were visiting the Amazing Grace Children's Home (Sublime Gracia Casa Hogar, Facebook link here), we had devotionals in the morning after breakfast at the hotel before going to see the kids. In...
