When It’s Not Possible

I’m pretty much an It’s Still Possible kind of believer. After all, I know that God can do anything and if He chooses to help, there’s no fix I can get into that He can’t fix. Though I believe it serves most of us well to focus on those things that are possible, or at […]

Lord, I Have Nothing Left to Say!

It’s unlikely that you get to the place very often where you simply don’t want to talk to God. You’ve said everything you can think of, waited patiently, tried to do all the right things, and still your life feels out of control and out of your hands. You question whether God can actually give […]

The Perfect Age

  So, another birthday candle is soon to glow! Yipes! There’s a lot more of them than I ever imagine there should be. After all, I must be younger than that! I guess age has always been a very conscious timeline in our lives. We imagine we’re too young, till we’re somewhat over 21, for […]

Just a Jesus Girl!

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 […]

Speak Tenderly in Prayer

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 […]

Of Grace and Poetry

I missed the chance to post something for Father’s Day this year since I have been locked out of my blog site for several weeks. (Yes, technology is a wonderful thing when it works.) Anyway, I’m finally back in and so I wanted to share another story about my rather unassuming and yet, awesome dad. […]

The Bible: It’s Greek to Me!

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. […]

The Story God Gave You

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 […]

That Log in My Eye

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 […]

The Age Gag

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 […]
