This morning my daughter was working on one of her activity books, and from across the room she announces, “now we just need to tape it to the door”.   My response was one of confusion, followed by declaration of how we can’t go taping things to our doors, we are in a rental, might removeContinue reading “Of the Spirit 1.10.19”

When we read the Bible, we have the benefit of seeing the big picture: we see the story from beginning to end.  Take the account John gives us about Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding – we know there wasn’t wine, then there was.  But as we receive encouragement from seeing over andContinue reading “About that Wine 1.8.19”

I recently had a friend who suffered a terrible accident and was significantly burned.  Her recovery required several skin-grafts, some of which took hours in the operating room.   She constantly had to be aware of the regrowth process, and the grafts, along with constant care and cleaning, led to the healing and keeping out ofContinue reading “Cover me 1.6.19”

2 Cor 6:1-2 Working together with him, we also appeal to you, “Don’t receive the grace of God in vain.” For he says:                 At an acceptable time I listened to you, and in the day of salvation I helped you. See, now is the acceptable time; now is the day of salvation! Have youContinue reading “Letters 12.31.18”

Yum… Tis the season for cooking, baking, and candy-making!  It is fun to try a new recipe, or taste something that longs to become your new holiday favorite.  However, if you have ever tried cooking something new, or cooking anything at all really, a crucial step is to taste it before you serve it.  SometimesContinue reading “Taste Test 12.11.18”

Isaiah 43:19 (CEB) Look! I’m doing a new thing; now it sprouts up; don’t you recognize it? I’m making a way in the desert, paths in the wilderness. God is moving, making a new thing, something recognizably different.  If that is the promise, then why do we expect things to look the same?  Should weContinue reading “New Thing 11.29.18”

I often like to enjoy a few sips of my first cup of coffee on my back deck, breathing in the air, looking around at nature, and talking with God.  Some mornings I only have a minute before both children appear at the screen door and shatter my silent oasis, but other days I canContinue reading “Functional Christian 9.30.18”

I happen to own the best cat in the world.  I mean it, there are no other cats like him.  However, I grew up with several dogs, and while I don’t consider myself strictly a “dog person”, I truly love them as well.  One interesting thing about dogs is their awareness of their own stature,Continue reading “Strongholds 8.30.18”

Last night I had a dream that was a bit strange, it was the kind where even after you wake it causes you to ponder through the day about what it all means.   Now I understand that this might not be relatable or of interest for most, but hang in there, there is a point.Continue reading “Gifts 4.10.20”
