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...

Not Fair, But Still Good

Lately I've been thinking about how much God is able and willing to forgive. The worst person in the world can be forgiven of their sins and made a completely new person just by believing in the work and name of Jesus! But sometimes we have a problem with that,...

Sweetness and Bitterness

I'd like to take a moment to talk about sweetness and bitterness. As we live and while we talk to and interact with others, people should be able to see the sweetness of God's grace in our lives even when bitter things are going on. Grace is the sweet main feature,...

The Joyful Whirlwind of VBS

I missed posting yesterday because I entirely forgot. I've been running around during the mornings at Vacation Bible School at church, then working in the afternoon. I've gotten a little tired and I feel a bit like I've been keeping pace with a whirlwind, but I've had...
