God is Totally Awesome

Four days ago I wrote: “… I find myself missing the pure awe and wonderment that once was the totality of my relationship with God…” “As always, I am praying for His guidance. I know because I have personally experienced it many times already, that when I ask for God’s help He does provide.” ThisContinue reading “God is Totally Awesome”

For Everything There is a Season

The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of God will stand forever. (Isaiah 40:8) For me this year, Winter brought an urgency to my yearning for God. Spring brought me to embrace Jesus as my Lord and savior. It also brought a worldly pandemic to my nation, my community, and my daily routines. SummerContinue reading “For Everything There is a Season”

Following Jesus at Work

A wonderful guest blog (well worth reading) this weekend talked about building up support systems at work, pointing to these three verses: 1 Thessalonians 5:11 “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up.” Ephesians 4:29 “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up accordingContinue reading “Following Jesus at Work”

All Men Are Created Equal

Yes, I know that’s not from the Bible. It’s from the U.S. Declaration of Independence. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” US Declaration of Independence IContinue reading “All Men Are Created Equal”

Hey God, I Think You Got The Wrong Person

When I went to graduate school I was fortunate to be given a teaching assistantship. That meant I spent 20 hours/week teaching undergraduates in exchange for my tuition, fees, and a small stipend. The thing is, you had to teach whatever you were assigned. You didn’t get to apply for a particular task you thoughtContinue reading “Hey God, I Think You Got The Wrong Person”

Women of the Bible: Bathsheba

Originally posted on Anomaly:
Courageous conversations are quite scarce. The intensity and intricacy of matters that need to be addressed usually makes it seem better to not challenge any pre-existing perceptions. The version of Bathsheba’s story that I grew up knowing doesn’t have trauma and misfortunes. At least when they mention the ugly parts, it…

Taking a Little Break

WordPress helpfully informs me that I’ve now written 77 Blog entries, 54 of them during the last 54 consecutive days. Putting this in context, its been 113 days since I accepted God’s gift of salvation through Jesus Christ and promised my life to Him. I was hungry for a close personal relationship with Him andContinue reading “Taking a Little Break”

Too Busy

I’ve been feeling less close to God as time goes by … something I figured needs some serious attention. I’m spending more time than ever “doing God stuff” – and therein may lie the problem. I spend time every day writing this Blog, time every day with Bible reading plans (4 of them at theContinue reading “Too Busy”

Knowledge

A long, long time ago when I was a very young adult (married at much too young an age) and not yet a follower of Jesus, I got in an argument with my spouse in the car. It was a horrible argument. We were both angry and yelling loudly at each other — which reverberatesContinue reading “Knowledge”

Death or Racism, or Something Else

“Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.” Colossians 3:2 I couldn’t make up my mind between writing today’s Blog post about Death or Racism. So I’m not going to write about either of these things. Instead I’m going to go back to a sermon that our Sr.Continue reading “Death or Racism, or Something Else”
