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...

Jesus’ Identity and Missing the Point

I was at a different church yesterday. Something about Sunday School stuck out. We were in John 8 when Jesus is talking to the religious leaders about who He is, and how much they're missing the points He's making. Right after Jesus had forgiven the woman caught in...

Thanks-Christmas

We've reached the time of year when sometimes I'm not sure which holiday to prepare for first, or if I should prepare for more than one at the same time. Either way, it doesn't have to be a time of year when we're all completely stressed out. For me, thankfulness and...

Little by Little

Sometimes there is a task so huge that I'm not sure I'm ever going to get it done. Sometimes that feeling keeps me from even bothering to start the task, and it goes undone for a long time. But it's like the saying goes: "How do you eat a whole elephant? One bite at a...

Stewarding

In church yesterday we talked about being a steward. When you are a steward, you handle someone else's resources on their behalf. To have this position requires you to be trustworthy, loyal, and skilled. Do we meet those qualifications when it comes to all God has...

Questions about Daniel and the Lions

We've been teaching the little kids at church about Daniel in the lions' den (Daniel 6), and lately I've been wondering about all the little details. They aren't important for me to know otherwise they'd be there. While some of the details are readily apparent, I do...
