Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard yourContinue reading “Good Morning, God!”

Some days my morning prayers get pretty long. Today my morning prayer was very short, but more straight from the heart than I have prayed in a while. “God … I keep losing myself … in worldly concerns. I’m sorry. I don’t want to do that. I miss You. Please help me to live forContinue reading “Morning Prayers”

I think God is using the Psalms to teach me one of the lessons of the Psalms. Well how profound is that? After confessing to God that I really don’t like the Psalms and asking for His guidance in better learning from His Word, I did receive guidance from Him (amazing how that works). InsteadContinue reading “David and Bathsheba”

Have you ever found it hard to be honest with God? I do. Which is silly, of course, because God already knows when I am being honest with Him and when I am trying to hide something from Him. I’ve been really crabby this week. I could point to lots of reasons for why IContinue reading “Being Honest With God”

“It was not enough to come and listen to a great sermon or message every Sunday morning and be confined to those four walls and those four corners. You had to get out and do something.” Rep. John Lewis – February 21, 1940 – July 17, 2020 He went home to the Lord today.

I’ve been stepping outside of my comfort zone a little and telling people, including those who aren’t super-close friends, and including those with whom I’ve never had a single conversation about religion or God, that I’ve become a Christian. One of the reasons it’s outside of my comfort zone is because I was brought upContinue reading “Telling Others”

(turn your sound on)

Before I became a Christian, but during the time when I was seeking, I reached out to a dear friend of mine with whom I hadn’t spoken in years. I genuinely missed the frequent conversations we once had. We were able to have a long phone call eventually. There was so much to catch upContinue reading “Memorizing Bible Verses”

I’m sure somebody more theologically mature than I could probably explain why I shouldn’t feel angry at Adam & Eve. In fact I can even probably think of a few reasons myself: This was God’s Plan all along. He knew they would sin. God already dealt with Adam & Eve. I should worry about myContinue reading “Do You Ever Feel Angry at Adam & Eve?”
