Experiencing God’s Presence Daily
Isaiah and David demonstrated a remarkable depth of understanding about God—an intimacy that often eludes us in our fast-paced, distraction-filled lives. Their declarations in Scripture, such as “God is ________,” were not merely words but heartfelt affirmations born out of daily encounters with God. They understood God as their strength, salvation, song, and provider, depending…

You’ve Got a Friend
I value a person’s time and energy when it comes to friendship. In today’s world it is easy to become too busy with life to entertain a friendship. Before you know it, you have not spoken to a friend in months. How do you continue cultivating a friendship? Making time for a face to face…
Target Teaching
Teaching to hit a target is ideal at a firing range. But what about in a classroom? Or in a Sunday School class? I have to say there have been times that I have started a blog with a person I want to target. Usually I want to get a point across to them that…
Liar, Liar
“Liar, Liar, Pants on fire” was a chant I learned when I was growing up. When my daughter was growing up, we rented a movie called “Liar, Liar”. One of the funniest movies I have seen. What is it about lying that just seems to be a rite of passage growing up? We all lie,…
Community
What is community? I have asked myself this a lot lately. The definition of community is 1) a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common; 2) a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals. This can be difficult to…
Innocence Lost
Last night the news covered the loss of a 3-year-old little girl. I am sickened by the murder of this young child. We live in a broken world. Finding comfort during this time will be difficult. We want to blame someone; we want justice and we want to repay evil. Before you allow your mind…
Silence
I looked forward to being an empty nester. Those moments when the house was loud was usually when I thought it will be great to be an empty nester. I counted down the years, months, days. And then it happened. It happened a while ago, but it finally happened. Silence. Glorious I can hear myself…
God First?
Do you put God first? We hear this asked all the time in church. Okay, maybe not all the time, but enough times that you should know the answer. But knowing the answer and actually practicing the answer are two different stories. So, what keeps you from setting God first? What is the first thing…
Forgiveness—Again
I know, I have written about forgiveness before. And I will probably write about it again. You see, forgiveness is not about a “one and done” type mentality. It is about an “everyday” kind of mentality. Actually, make that an every-second-of-everyday. Let’s face it people are messy. They intentionally hurt others and sometimes they unintentionally…
The Past, The Shame & The Present
I have not published a blog in a month or so (well, except the one I publish yesterday). It is not that I have not written any, just failed to publish. You see, I wrote about something in the past, but I felt I could not publish it. The fear of judgment, of gossip, of…
