I’ve been a Jesus girl for some time. I prefer to define my faith this way because the word Christian suggests a wide range of definitions, some that resonate with me, and some that clearly don’t. Jesus gave us great examples of how to walk with God and with our neighbors, too. His perspective was […]
Saint Augustine wrote: “To fall in love with God is the greatest romance. To seek God is the greatest adventure, and to find God is the greatest human achievement.” I suspect most of us don’t think of God in tender terms, seeing Him as the ultimate version of romance, the greatest opportunity for adventure, and […]
Actually, the Bible is composed of primarily Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic, but let’s go on. Translations of the original texts have put the Bible into terms that are more understandable for today’s readers, but that doesn’t mean they actually understand it. In fact, many still find it confusing, difficult, and simply hard to get through. […]
It’s worth noting that God gave each of us a story. In fact, He gave each one of us a blockbuster. Best of all, He did not give us the same story. He varied the plot lines, changed the characters, and structured our tales with twists and turns we might never have imagined possible. After […]
Perhaps the most natural thing in the world is for any of us to look for someone else to blame when we find ourselves in a mess. After all, we hate even thinking we might truly be responsible. Apparently, Adam didn’t need anyone to help him conclude that he could just blame Eve when God […]
In the greeting card business, when you tease someone about their age in a birthday card, it’s called an age gag. The card might have something like a birthday cake on the front with lots of candles and say, “Blow out these candles first. On the inside, it might say, “We’ll put the rest on […]
By now, you’ve lived long enough to know how the cow ate the cabbage, so to speak! You have a good sense of what you like, what you don’t like, and how to create your world in a way that feels satisfying. In fact, you’ve done it so long, you barely have to think about […]
1st Peter 5:7 is one of my life verses. It was given to me by a friend when I was being baptized at the age of 20. This scripture gives us something we can do with our worries, our anxiety and all the things that make us weak in the knees. It says you can […]
I remember when hearing this phrase caused a shiver to go up my spine. Anything that was intended “for my own good” usually was followed by things that weren’t so good. Discipline of any sort can give us pause. The very idea of guidance implies we aren’t all that certain about our direction. We need […]
Have you noticed that life doesn’t often turn out like you expected? You grow up, leave home to get a job or a further education, explore the world a little, search for a partner, have kids and start the cycle all over again. It’s what your parents did and what their parents did. Somewhere along […]
