3 Ways to Interpret the Signs

There is a road that I travel often which has two advisory signs one after the other. The first is to let the driver know they are approaching a church. The next warns of a side street intersection and says CAUTION. As I was driving this road one day, I read the signs in succession…

The Godhead

The idea of the Trinity is a difficult concept to grasp, and therefore explain. As Christians we have a monotheistic faith in that there is one God. However, when we break it down into the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, it seems like a polytheistic belief. How does one express how they are…

When to Say When

Let’s be honest. At the restaurant, when the waiter says those two words “say when” we have all thought let’s see how far I can take this. It’s a test of limits between how much we really need to be satisfied, and how much they are willing to dish out. Sometimes in our pursuit of…

Great is Thy Faithfulness

“Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, ‘The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him’” Lamentations 3: 22-24   When I wake in the morning I do my best to catch myself…

Let Them Come

  Christmas morning brings so many memorable scenes in a home bustling with children. Whether they are the ones pulling mom and dad out of bed or the parents are waking sleepy-headed littles, there’s nothing like the joy that radiates from them once they realize “It’s time!” There is a wonder and belief that becomes infectious…

Just Breathe

Then the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person. Genesis 2:7 NLT Last month I was sidelined by a bout with pneumonia. My chest felt pained and heavy, breathing was labored, and exhaustion came…

At Sea

“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 NLT We are in the waning days of summer and that leaves me with a longing. It has been two years now since I’ve…

Through or Through

My husband enjoys backpacking and hiking. Recently, he and a friend undertook a 100 mile through-hike challenge. They trained for months; tweaking their supplies to make sure they were reaching an optimal weight for their packs. Finding this ratio of what you will need, versus not being without something vital to your survival, is crucial…

All Authority

In the time leading up to Easter one of the things discussed was the events of the triumphant entry into Jerusalem. There was the cursing of the fig tree for looking like it was good for fruit when there was none, and the obtaining of the colt by the disciples. Living in the Midwest, our…
