I finally finished my class on the Book of Revelation. At least this time I got all the way through it. When I started this class I wrote: “So I’m putting my faith in God to lead … praying that He will open my heart to a better understanding of Him through this study ofContinue reading “The Book of Revelation”

It is not a new insight that I have trouble with trust. I know that. I’m working on removing barriers to trust in my life. That’s still a work in progress. But trusting GOD? Every time I catch myself being surprised that God actually did what He says He will do I am totally blownContinue reading “It Happened AGAIN”

“Maybe you should write a blog post about that,” said my friend to whom I’d just been describing my vision of God as a weaver. “Hmm, yeah, maybe I should,” I said noncommittally. So today I’ve been thinking about weavers. I have an image in my heart of God as a weaver, eternally weaving togetherContinue reading “The Weaver”

In my on-line class on Revelation the professor commented on the Abyss or bottomless pit in Rev 9:1. He said that there could be no such thing as a bottomless pit because if it was bottomless then it wouldn’t be a pit, it would just be some kind of a hole. So therefore, the AbyssContinue reading “This Sentence is False”

Today I attended the livestreamed funeral service for a 17-year old activist in our church. This week a freak car accident took the lives of three high school students in our community. It’s easy to jump to conclusions – and many did – about young people, carelessness, alcohol, drugs, dangerous behavior, goofing off, and whatContinue reading “Funeral”

God’s stinkbugs. A so-called invasive species. For some reason beyond my worldly comprehension, the Author of all things saw fit to bring them here to crawl up the windowsills, doorways, and every other place they can find to try to get inside as the weather gets cooler. They’re just like skunks. When feeling startled, threatened,Continue reading “Stinkbugs”

I feel like my relationship with God is different from that of other people I know. At first I assumed that everyone’s relationship with God was just like mine. I was totally blown away by it and wanted to talk about that with everybody who was willing. I couldn’t believe that born-again Christians who hadContinue reading “Different”

Have you ever asked an unbeliever to pray with you? I’ve finally managed to get more comfortable telling unbelievers that I will pray for them … especially when they ask me to pray for them … although I’ve never really understood why someone who doesn’t believe in God would ask a Christian to pray forContinue reading “Praying With Unbelievers”

O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;    my soul thirsts for you;my flesh faints for you,    as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Psalm 63:1 I’ve been thinking about longing for God – longing to know God better – longing for knowledge of Him. I’ve also been thinking about miracles. IContinue reading “Longing for God”
