Your form is different than anyone else’s. Even if you have an identical twin, with matching DNA, there is a freckle in an odd place that sets you apart and makes you remarkable. Remarkable just means special and different. It can also imply some level of fabulousness! We have our own form. In the Old…

A Change in the Weather
It is the week of Thanksgiving and there is a chill in the atmosphere. We are used to season’s coming and going. It is the rhythm God created for us. It also applies to other changes. Today I read the account of Jesus and the possessed man. It, again, demonstrates that Jesus is God and…
As Good As It Gets
I was praying for a friend and heard myself pleading with God. I said, “He/she is as good as he/she can be”. How silly, as if a person’s goodness is necessary to get God’s attention. I corrected that as I prayed. Our goodness means nothing because God answers prayers because He is good. Jesus answered…
Bibles for Sale
I was praying for Bibles. More Bibles for many more people. It is God’s ‘owners manual’. If you believe in God you need to know what He says about you and the people around you – vertical – God – and – horizontal – others. My Voice of the Martyrs prayer calendar, for November 23rd…
Clean and Available
Tonight I attended a prayer meeting for missionaries, most of whom I know. It was dark and raining. I wanted to stay home. I don’t get any brownie points for caring about people and caring about the lost. The main reason I wanted to take a pass is I’m in a funk. You can attach…
The Soft and Hard
Hello parents. You have the best job in the world but there are challenges. I would sort these tasks into soft and hard. Soft is the hugs, kisses, cutest smiles, growth charts, school and soccer wows, freckles, friends, parties, vacations, nite-nite prayers, and a million other blessings. More challenging could be diapers, tantrums, runny noses,…
When Jesus Returns
When Jesus returns I don’t want you to be confused. He promised He would come back for us and no one has ever caught Jesus in a lie. He is God and can do the impossible like saving you and me and all of humanity who believe His promises. God’s word reinforces the terms of…
Wet Traffic
Two things. As I raced across Bellevue yesterday it was pouring down a river of rain and I was also in morning downtown traffic. Two things affected my morning commute. I was late for appointment one, on time for appointment two, then early for appointment three. The weather is never under our control but leaving…
I’ll Go
I played an older hymn this morning as I think about the future. “I’ll go where you want me to go, dear Lord, over mountain or plain or sea. I’ll say what you want me to say, dear Lord, I’ll be what you want me to be.” I don’t know why this song led me…
Ordinary but Impossible
This is the season of trying our best. Today I had help digging out a few layers in my garage to find the snow tires. Now I cannot get my car into that space until the bi-annual shuffle completes. It is an ordinary garage but impossibly narrow for one car. I’m trying my best. Next…
