Recently I got to catch up with a friend who I had not seen in a while. As a Christian counselor, I knew that she carries a lot of people’s stories and how heavy that can be. She expressed how she wished she could have more people in her life who lived their faith everyContinue reading “Share the Glow”

The Hands of My Father
Since my father’s passing I have not been sure what Father’s Day will hold for me as far as my experience. Although, now that I think about it, I’ve never quite been sure what to do with this “holiday.” The circumstances of my broken family meant that I spent most of my life separated fromContinue reading “The Hands of My Father”
3 Ways to Interpret the Signs
There is a road that I travel often which has two advisory signs one after the other. The first is to let the driver know they are approaching a church. The next warns of a side street intersection and says CAUTION. As I was driving this road one day, I read the signs in successionContinue reading “3 Ways to Interpret the Signs”
The Godhead
The idea of the Trinity is a difficult concept to grasp, and therefore explain. As Christians we have a monotheistic faith in that there is one God. However, when we break it down into the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, it seems like a polytheistic belief. How does one express how they areContinue reading “The Godhead”
When to Say When
Let’s be honest. At the restaurant, when the waiter says those two words “say when” we have all thought let’s see how far I can take this. It’s a test of limits between how much we really need to be satisfied, and how much they are willing to dish out. Sometimes in our pursuit ofContinue reading “When to Say When”
Great is Thy Faithfulness
“Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, ‘The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him’” Lamentations 3: 22-24 When I wake in the morning I do my best to catch myselfContinue reading “Great is Thy Faithfulness”
Let Them Come
Christmas morning brings so many memorable scenes in a home bustling with children. Whether they are the ones pulling mom and dad out of bed or the parents are waking sleepy-headed littles, there’s nothing like the joy that radiates from them once they realize “It’s time!” There is a wonder and belief that becomes infectiousContinue reading “Let Them Come”
Hi, You’re on Speakerphone
“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, andContinue reading “Hi, You’re on Speakerphone”
At Sea
“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 NLT We are in the waning days of summer and that leaves me with a longing. It has been two years now since I’veContinue reading “At Sea”
All Authority
In the time leading up to Easter one of the things discussed was the events of the triumphant entry into Jerusalem. There was the cursing of the fig tree for looking like it was good for fruit when there was none, and the obtaining of the colt by the disciples. Living in the Midwest, ourContinue reading “All Authority”
