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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

“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 [...]
Purpose
Posted in Christianity, Church, Faith, God, Jesus, Love, Religion, hope, tagged and the glory of the Lord shown about him, be ye transformed, being more for God, finding your purpose in God, God's truth, God's wisdom, living to reflect Him, losing your life that you might find it, purpose, reaching your potential in God, reflecting God in everything, setting our sights on God, the glory of God, there's always more, thinking about music on May 16, 2008 | 8 Comments »
Over these last few weeks I’ve been thinking a lot about purpose and pupose is a hot topic, obvious by Rick Warren’s book “The Purpose Driven Life”. People want to know, “what’s my purpose in life?” and, “why was I created and what was I created to do?” Heck, even I want the [...]

If I were a sign post what kind of sign would I want to be? Would I be a mile marker, a directional sign, pointing “this way!” Would I be or make a statement, proclaiming something? Would I tell you how much farther you have untill you reach your destination? Would [...]

“A blip!” Your watching a radar screen and then you see it but only for a second and then it’s gone; “a blip!” Now imagine if you will that blip is what your life here on earth is like; “nothing but a blip” that lasts for no more than a second. But the [...]
