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...

Missing Out While Pining and Whining

Writing today about another fun lesson from children! One of the kiddos didn't get something they wanted, and decided to sit around whining about it. This dear child could have been having fun with friends, but decided to waste time complaining about what they didn't...

Season of Change

Just when I think I might be coming to a point when things start settling in my life, another set of changes comes by, this time in the form of a second job. I was going to say it's not bad and it's just different, but I've been noticing that it's very good. I'm being...

Humorously Summarized Bible References

A little something silly I've been wanting to do for a while. Read the references and tell me how I did! Kid beats giant with leather strip and small rock. (1 Samuel 17) Hair like goats, teeth like sheep, noses and necks like towers, all that cute lovey dovey stuff....
