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...

Praying First

One time there was a boy at church who got sick. His grandma said she'd ask the church to pray for him. He asked her, "Grandma, am I that sick?" He wasn't very sick, but that's how we sometimes look at prayer: something to do when nothing else is left. Prayer should...
