The latest from my blog

This morning I was feeling pretty lazy, and just not really wanting to (but knowing it'd be really good for me) crawl out from under my warm covers to go spend some one-on-one time with the Almighty.   Thankfully God loves me more than I love Him and just wouldn't let...

Every year, this month, I read the story of Jesus' birth, recorded in Matthew and Luke.  And every year I notice new aspects of it.  (One of the things I love about the Bible is that you can read the same story a million times over and find new discoveries every...

Like Moses before a burning bush, I hear the words, "Take your shoes off.  This is holy ground."  And it is.  This ground has born the sandals of One who lives eternally, enthroned in glory, surrounded by angels proclaiming His praises, day and night, forever and...

I never quite know how to answer when folks tell me that Jesus is just one of the many paths to heaven.  It's not that I can't "defend" my faith, I just really don't want to attack yours'. And the truth is, I don't think God needs me to defend Him. But what I really...

During this season of the year, it never quite feels spectacular or Christmassy until I take pause and read the written account of Christ's birth in Luke.  This year, however, I'm doing something a little different and reading it in increments. I just sat to read the...

"As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, O God, My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.  My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my food day and night, While they say to me...

I've been kinda silent on here for a little while.  The truth is, I had nothing to say, because this blog is sort-of like a light post for me.  As I see a little further down the road, I'm happy to show what I see to others and hope that they will join along on this...

Church, This address is to you.  I love you.  Jesus loves you so much He died for you (and me). But have we become like spoiled children, who own all things and yet take them for granted?  Have we forgotten that our purchase was made by Someone else's self-sacrificing...

Lately (and by lately I mean at least a year) I've been really struggling with a lot of depression.  It gets worse sometimes, like once a month when my body decides that it hates me for not being pregnant or nursing still and will avenge itself by throwing my hormones...

I have a man-child that lives with me... barely.  In one year, our relationship will make it's greatest transition since his birth. Today was his first day of his senior year!  He is so old! The morning was so beautiful!  There was this majestic fog hovering the...

Smiles had a vision recently.  In it, he was looking through the eyes of someone seeking after God.  In the distance, he noticed a cross and it appealed to him.  He began moving towards it, when suddenly, violently, a church building dropped out of the sky, blocking...

Sometimes I worry I'm giving my kids the wrong idea about Jesus.  I mean, I want them to grow up to be responsible, honorable, wise, helpful and loving.  I want them to do dishes and clean up after themselves.  I want them to be genuinely loving, not just doing the...
