One Thing I Know

God is faithful. I chose to follow Jesus at a Billy Graham crusade when I was nine years old. I grew up in church, but that was the first time I felt God speaking to me. Drawing me to him. I devoured the book of John in the bus on the way home which gave … More One Thing I Know

God is Not Mad at You

When hard things, bad experiences, challenging situations occur, how often do we wonder if maybe God is angry with us? Did he cause the problem? Allow it to teach us something so we’ll finally get our act together? I’ve entertained these thoughts. I used to wonder if God was disappointed in me or angry because … More God is Not Mad at You

In the Name of Submission – Last Words

Last time, we left off with I Peter 3:1 telling wives to submit to their husbands. You can see the first post here. We continue talking about submission and hopefully unpacking more of what it truly means. I believe Peter starts with wives for a couple of reasons. (No, he’s not picking on us.) First, …

In the Name of Submission – cont.

We’re diving deep into what God means when he talks about submission. We began with I Peter 3:1 which tells wives to submit to their husbands—and often it’s left right there without further understanding of what God is communicating. That’s why we’re looking back at the previous chapter to get an idea of what “in …

In the Name of Submission

Submission is often a dreaded word. I’m not going to lie, it’s a concept I’ve struggled with for most of my life. In part, I believe that’s because I didn’t understand it. And I think, unfortunately, the church as a whole is somewhat to blame. The real problem lies in the way some have interpreted …

Moving Out, Moving On, Moving Up – Final

Sorry to leave you all hanging. Maybe you surmised that my lack of writing about the end of this journey meant that we actually found a place and moved. True story. Another God move in moving us. I saw a place on a site I hadn’t looked at for a while. One place that was … More Moving Out, Moving On, Moving Up – Final

Moving Out, Moving On, Moving Up – Part 9

I was down with some bug the week after Christmas, and then, of course, that means Brendan succumbed the week after New Year’s. Whether the flu or some new random variant of covid, as far as I’m concerned it didn’t really matter. I did the same thing I do whenever I get sick: drink lots … More Moving Out, Moving On, Moving Up – Part 9

Moving Out, Moving On, Moving Up – Part 8

It’s the day after Christmas. And all through the house…it’s quiet even in the late morning hours. We celebrated with family and friends and way too much food. I’m sure many people did. Then we sobered for a few moments to lift up silent prayers for those who were without running water and food to … More Moving Out, Moving On, Moving Up – Part 8

Moving Out, Moving On, Moving Up Part 7

Christmas. Different this year. Not only for us, but for so many people. Loved ones lost, jobs in limbo, crime escalating through the world. But even though it may be different because we don’t know where we’ll be, and our Christmas decorations are in storage, is my lack of a Christmas tree going to change … More Moving Out, Moving On, Moving Up Part 7
