My oldest son and I were having a conversation about differing points of view about God and the Bible. I offered up my point of view on the subject of God, the Creator of the universe and everything.

Understanding Humility: A Biblical Perspective
Yesterday, I woke up with a massive headache. And if you know anything about me, you know that I do not let pain stop me. I have intense pain throughout my body on any given moment of the day. However, today, the pain was nearly unbearable. I still went to my morning “Christian Formation” classContinue reading “Understanding Humility: A Biblical Perspective”
The Fear of the Lord: The Key to Wisdom
Where to begin? Isn’t that the question most of us have when we are looking to increase wisdom and knowledge? We look at the pile of books at the library or book store, or we search the seemingly never-ending list of topics with which to learn on the internet.

Seeking More of Him
Going through the “Read-the-Bible-in-a-Year” reading plan allows me to glean little nuggets that I have passed over in the past.

There are so many things going on in my own life that are chaotic and troublesome. I have kids that are out of school for the summer, and they are bored. Lacking transportation has made this a boring summer for them. Also, this summer brings out the pests. I have a pest problem that IContinue reading “Psalm 3”
Ask, Seek, Knock
Have you ever asked God, “What do You want me to do?” I know I have a lot. And when asking guidance from others, I get advice about ‘how’ to hear Him or what they say to do. Often times, I get the answer of “you need to pray” or “just read the Bible.” ToContinue reading “Ask, Seek, Knock”
Find Joy in Work
Do you go to work on any given day and find yourself struggling through it? Do you feel as though this “job” is pointless or difficult or just a struggle? Do you find yourself checking the time frequently hoping that the time will pass faster so that you can just “get out of here”? MostContinue reading “Find Joy in Work”
In That One Moment
There have been so many instances in my life that I have thought about what it was like to be without cancer versus being with cancer. Before cancer, I was a strong person that was able to help almost everyone I came into contact with. After cancer entered into my life, I became this shellContinue reading “In That One Moment”
