Lately I’ve been giving a lot of thought to what God requires of us. Or maybe, what God requires of me. Because lately, God’s really been putting me through it, to the point that I’m now down in the trenches and waving the white flag of mercy, “I surrender! I surrender!” And this can be [...]

To Relish Him
Posted in Blogroll, Christianity, Church, Faith, God, Jesus, hope, tagged calling, gifts, happiness, joy, making time, only God can fill the heart, peace, Putting God first, recharge, seeking God first, to dwell in His prescence, to relish Him, to seek Him in the morning, you will find Me on August 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
And as I begin this morning nothing wants to come to mind for a title, but still, I write, and so often (as with so many other things) I figure whatever it is that needs to be said will be said. Strange but true.
But what do I feel the need to say? Not [...]

Can we see a bigger picture that only benefits others? A bigger picture with nothing in it for us, whatsoever? Can we be so selfless, expecting nothing in return? Can we do the things you call us to with no promise of something more, without asking or expecting, “what’s in it for me, Lord?” Can [...]
“Space… the final frontier.”

And why that suddenly came to mind I have no idea. Too many old reruns of watching Star Trek as a kid I guess, “Captain Kirk, you’re needed immediately on the bridge,” and I’m sure I could think of other one liners if I gave myself a few more minutes, “Okay, beam me up [...]

It’s early and as I sit at my desk with the window open overlooking our community pond the sun is shining, and yet as I take a moment to perhaps daydream, I start to see more and more of those little white puffy clouds (like sheep) begin to proceed across that great blue backdrop we [...]
He Is

There are so many ways one could complete that sentence, “He is…” fill in the blank. Honestly I don’t think there are enough words one could even find to adequately describe Him. Maybe it’s just awe, and I guess that’s my one word of choice, at least for today anyway; awe. Because as far as [...]
Something

Sometimes how rainclouds start to form on a horizon and seeing them in the distance you know that, “rain’s a comin’,” sometimes that’s how it is when you start to feel the Holy Spirit move and your first inclination is to think, “He’s up to something.” You may not know what exactly, but for [...]
When God Gives You Ducks
Posted in Blogroll, Christianity, Church, Faith, God, Jesus, hope, tagged God is always working, when an ugly duck becomes a swan on March 7, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Not swans, but ducks. And actually, I have always been quite fond of ducks for some reason. I think they’re funny little characters; the way they waddle, quack, turn their necks to watch you, and even wag their tails. In fact, a bird watcher at heart they really do amuse me; ducks, [...]

“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware.” Heb 13:2
And as of late this scripture keeps coming to mind, maybe because God keeps putting it there, I don’t know, but I woke this morning thinking of it. Perhaps too because I always do as the holidays approach. “Tis [...]
A Bookstore, a Book, and Silver Crosses

So last week I went and stopped by our local Christian bookstore, not because I myself was necessarily looking for anything but mostly because, for the past month, my daughter has been wanting to find a cross necklace; “silver, not too big, and must be plain.” Obviously her tastes and mine are nothing alike [...]
