A Choice for Now

In my last post, Choosing Between Good Things, I mentioned I might have to put my blog on hiatus. I've decided that instead of a full stop, I'm going to post on it when I can instead of posting regularly. As for a few other choices going on in life, I've got those...

Choosing Between Good Things

I have things to plan and work for regarding the future, and to do so I must figure out what things to give up in the present, if only temporarily. I don't want to give things up. I feel like I shouldn't give up some of them. But I do need to at least consider doing...

Summarized Bible References to Get You Curious

Robust 80-year-old man claims mountain inheritance promised to him 40 years before. (Joshua 14:6-15) Two men get too big for their respective britches. One flees from the other in battle, the other dies after a very strong woman tosses a millstone on his head. (Judges...

Nip It in the Bud

You might recognize the saying in the title. Barney Fife said it often. Honestly it's a good saying. If you take care of something while it's small, then it won't be so bad later. Got weeds in the garden? Pick them while they're small and the roots are not strong and...

A Few Things on Children

Children are an important gift from God, Psalm 127:3. Jesus Himself placed importance on children, Matthew 18:1-4 & 19:14. Children are not empty boxes you need to fill, they are a gift with something already inside them from God. Your job as a parent is to find...

God’s Love and Mothers

We Christians talk a lot about how a good father shows us what God's love is like, but often we don't talk about how good mothers show us God's love in ways just as important. Mothers take great pains and go to great lengths to protect their children, often putting...

Vessels for Honor and Dishonor

Earlier this week, I was listening while some friends talked about vessels for honor and vessels for dishonor from Romans 9:21. In the verses around this one, Paul writes about how God is in control of the vessels. God is the potter who makes the vessels, so He can...

A Little Something on Death

I was thinking lately about my grandma's death years ago. I miss her, but I'm not too sad because I know where she went and that I'll get there later. I then thought of being a kid at our church's Missions Conference when my parents would take separate cars. I and my...
