“Good Friday 2013″

Read John 19:16-30
It is finished. Done. Complete. There’s nothing else we can do. That’s what makes Good Friday so good. The problem is that we, as responsible individuals who take care of ourselves just can’t quite grasp the concept. We want there to be more. We’d prefer to have [...]

Thoughts on the Oklahoma Disasters of May 2013

I am overwhelmed with a mixture of feelings about the current disasters in Oklahoma right now. I feel so bad for all of the families affected by this devastation. At the same time, I see the moral compass of our Country and can’t help but wonder how much of the tremendous disaster is [...]

LEFT TO MY OWN DEVICES

Psalm 81:6-16

Thoughts on Isaiah 1

I’m starting to read Isaiah 1 again today. Curiously, nearly every time I begin this ancient book, I feel the need to journal through it, share insights and tell the world. So today I’m starting my “Isaiah blog.” I often figure it’s just for me because I’m not sure anyone reads [...]

I am Blessed

Several folks on Facebook have shared this page:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/scott-d...
It’s a link to an article by Scott Dannemiller expressing his belief that Christians should stop saying they are blessed. He says that it’s just semantics. But he’d prefer we say “I am grateful” rather than blessed. I’ve been mulling the whole thing [...]
