I have a ridiculous satellite clock that miss-fires any time (twice each year) there is a spring-forward or fall-back event. This time I thought I had it all figured out. I had plugged my phone & Apple Watch in another room and read a bit in bed. I knew I needed to add an hour…

It has been a year since I graduated from YWAM 50+. It is time to finish reviewing the things that I learned and heard from God. Art is not science but we can see God in our beautiful world. We can see satan in the ugly. This study included art and how artists through time…

As the world hunts for Christians we hunt for Jesus, His truth, people to share His truth with, and His will for each of us. I received a strange stare this week when I said that the world is hunting for Christians but what else can we call martyrs and those hiding in home churches…

In the last few days I have read, received, studied, and been around really smart people. I have ideas as I process. If you are like me, somedays there is no time to process or write well enough to give these ideas service. Here are just a few snippets… Who’s Your Mama I hope I…

Because we have all experienced betrayal, even God, how much does it hurt? To forsake another person is to leave them entirely, usually in a moment of need.

I loved elementary school recess. I could kick a ball further than my buds (ballet I’m sure) and was quick enough for dodgeball. I can’t imagine playing dodgeball today but I thought of it as it relates to attack and deflect. Most attacks, if any, are words. Someone delivers words and we try for peace…

No. The Bible has not been rewritten. I was googling something a few weeks ago and came across a barrage of articles about just how many rewrites, how many revisions, and how many controversies. Most of this is intended to undermine the value of God’s Word and dilute the opinions and ‘thoughts toward you’ that…

The people of Israel stacked stones and I make photo albums. I’ve just spent time each day, for ten days, down-sizing photo albums. It has made me melancholy and 17 of my closest and dearest friends are getting envelopes from me with photos too precious to round-file. I condensed and am now looking at eleven…

The people of Israel had a habit of murmuring in their tents. I’m calling this complaint theology where we believe in God and thank Him for how He has saved us in the past but complain today because circumstances are falling below our expectations. Complaint is a human condition and quite the opposite of gratefulness….
