Doing Without

For the past week and a half or so, I've been without my laptop. I've been able to occupy myself just fine, but this has shown me just how many things I have on my computer, and how easy it is for me to spend time on my computer when I could be doing other things....

Book Metaphors

I came across an entry in one of my notebooks, and it was good to be reminded that God is the Author of life, and He knows how to write and finish good stories. When life happens and things change, whether we like those things or not, we need to turn the page. And...

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...

Pursuing True Greatness

I have some notes from a recent sermon to share. We were in Mark 9:33-37. To summarize, Jesus had just told His disciples that He was going to be taken and crucified, and that He would rise again. They were afraid to ask Him what He meant (Mark 9:30-32). As they...

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...

Have you ever played a game without rules, or with rules that were made up arbitrarily and only apply when convenient for the person who made them? Have you ever been upset or hurt by someone who wasn't following a rule, law, or policy? Have you ever been the person...

Just a Little Faith in Christ

In the sermon yesterday morning we were in Mark 9:14-29. The same account is also told in Matthew 17:14-21. This is right after Jesus has taken Peter, James, and John to a mountain top where they saw Jesus transfigured before them. They saw the unveiled glory of...

Even More Soap Opera in the Bible

I'm not quite sure why I've spotted soap opera in the Bible multiple times. I don't even watch soap operas. But I must think it's pretty interesting to find them in the Bible. (See Soap Opera in the Bible and More Soap Opera in the Bible) This "episode" is in the book...

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...
