In school we had to take a class on economics.  I’ll admit, I felt fairly confident about the subject matter – I understood the basic principles and had already been experiencing working in retail including marketing and advertising.  But as the class progressed, and specifically after a group project gone bad, I started to reconsiderContinue reading “Devalued 10.21.19”

This morning I woke up with a song in my head – it was one that got a lot of radio play in the 90’s by Jewel.  The song, which speaks to going through the motions of life, has a line that says, “I feel so far from where I’ve been”.  That is sticking withContinue reading “So Far 8.15.19”

Luke 11:24-26 When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it roams through waterless places looking for rest, and not finding rest, it then says, ‘I’ll go back to my house where I came from.’ And returning, it finds [the house] swept and put in order. Then it goes and brings seven other spiritsContinue reading “Broke Floats 6.29.19”

This little light of mine… I’m gonna let it shine!  Ahh, the season of VBS is upon us.  I have memories of learning this song complete with hand motions.  The image then was a bright shining light that no one could blow out; and it would shine so bright that you couldn’t hide it ifContinue reading “Dimly Lit 6.29.19”

Let freedom ring!  What a beautiful thought; a joyous sound of no longer being enslaved, indebted, controlled and in captivity.  But it’s much more than the history of a country, it’s the history of humanity.  The bible speaks very clearly about our freedom. John 8:32  “You will know the truth, and the truth will setContinue reading “For Freedom 6.28.19”

As I listened to the sounds around me in my home, I was suddenly struck by how many of them were water noises.  I noticed the turbulent whirring of the dishwasher, the trickle drip from the coffeemaker, and the gushing from the pipe as the washing machine filled.  It was very peaceful, and it madeContinue reading “Love Story 6.25.19”

Do you ever look around and wonder, “where am I”?  Not so much a question of physically… maybe you are in your living room… but mentally, emotionally, spiritually.  Where are you?  There is no coincidence that God asks this question in the garden of Eden.  It’s not as if He doesn’t know where Adam andContinue reading “Where Are You 6.17.19”

School is out, the weather is warm, and the Chick-fil-as are even busier than before.  We must be nearing Summer.  And as we do, I sat to ponder what my days should look like in this new season.  I have several commitments that are just beginning, but also many that are wrapping up.  In theContinue reading “For the Occasion 6.3.19”

My family and I recently watched the newest “How to Train Your Dragon” movie, or new “Toothless” movie as my kids call it.  There is a central idea in the movie, that a secret dragon land can be found where the earth ends.  I am always fascinated by how movies depict the “ends of theContinue reading “Gardening 5.30.19”

This morning, my daughter was using her coloring pencils to make an artistic creation.  After completing her work, she gave me an explanation of her drawing as she typically does.  This time though, instead of the conversation simply being about what she drew, she also told of how at a certain point she felt lostContinue reading “Uturn 5.2.19”
