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...

Easter Monday

Now that Easter Sunday is over, a lot of people are going right back to their lives as if Jesus never resurrected. Even some Christians are doing it! We have a tendency to celebrate Jesus' resurrection and get over it sometimes, feeling revived on Sunday but feeling...

Jonathan’s Character

I've been reading in the book of 1 Samuel, and I've been at the point of Saul's reign as the first king of Israel. I've been reading a different translation than usual, which has been making me take a new look at passages I've known my whole life. For example...

Children’s Hosanna

Yesterday was Palm Sunday, the one where we talk about Jesus' Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem on a donkey, with people waving palm branches and shouting, "Hosanna!" When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, it meant He came in peace. Kings rode on stallions in...

Notes Again

Once again I'm sharing some notes I've collected. Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the apples in a seed. Why do we expect God to move for us when we won't lift a hand for Him? If anything in life turns someone from the Lord, we shouldn't...

Doing What You Feel Is Right

I'm still reading in the book of Judges, and today I was in chapters 17-18. Several places in Judges it points out that people did whatever they felt was right. At times it goes on to paint a picture of what that looked like, and in chapters 17-18 we see just how bad...

A Little Extra Encouragement

I was doing my Bible reading in the book of Judges today, and read about Gideon (Judges 6-7). I've noticed before that God gives Gideon a lot of encouragement and affirmation, and thought I'd talk about it. When God first calls Gideon to deliver the Israelites from...
