Sometimes things just feel ‘right.’ You feel like you’re walking on air and just cruising along and everything is falling into place…so much so that it seems almost odd to you…that it can’t be ‘that’ easy…and that YOU get the privilege to play a part?! I had such an experience last night. My friend and […]

Today life seems to be spinning more than usual. Things are happening at every turn. It’s quite the dichotomy. A dear woman at our church was escorted to the hands of Jesus this morning. You can feel the sadness like a tidal wave pour across our church. It was only 2 months since the diagnosis. She […]

Today is a special day. My youngest brother, Scott, celebrates his 3rd year of sobriety today. I am beyond words with how proud I am of him. In AA the members mark milestones with tokens, or coins. When you attend your first meeting you get your 24 hour coin, and in the first year you […]

What do I believe? Ever asked yourself that? Even deeper…ever ANSWERED that question? Not with the church answers. Not with the superficial ‘God loves me’ answers. I mean…what do I BELIEVE?! What do my actions say I believe vs. what I ‘say’ I believe? How do they line up? Is there a chasm there? How […]

Now before you start reading with any preconceived notions about the title, this is NOT a blog post about deadbeat dads or absent fathers. If anything it is the exact opposite of that. Most of us think of the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15:11-32. We think of the wayward selfish son who […]

Sometimes things just need to be put in a way that penetrate – that speak to you in only such a way as YOU will understand. “Speak a language all your own” as they say. I had one of those experiences today. I’ve been trying – wanting – to write this blog post for a […]

Sometimes I can be thick headed. OK….more than sometimes. I’m human. Admit it…you relate. Lately I’ve been sensing God poking me before He has to get out the cattle prod. And it leads to His progress in my life. This time last year I became exposed to, challenged by, gripped by, and driven to help […]

There are times when I find myself staring into space. Today has been one of those days. I know my mind is processing things when that happens. The thing is…I don’t always know what those things are. I had breakfast last week with my dear friend Ann. We’ve known each other since our days as […]

I will cry tonight. I’ve already cried today. Christmas does that to me. But now it’s for a whole different set of reasons. We will sing carols and turn out the lights and sing Silent Night by candlelight and smell the candles as the flames are snuffed out and the wicks smolder. And I will […]

Paul called himself the chief of sinners (1 Tim. 1:15). I’m starting to take a little solace in that. I think Paul was saying no matter how hard he tried he knew there was still a sin nature in him that raised its ugly head and he had to constantly fight against it. I found […]
