What is Your Purpose?

There I was, this morning, on the back deck of my house. I was enjoying the beauty of the atmosphere. It was early morning, and it seemed as though I was the only person awake in the neighborhood. I’m sure I wasn’t, but that is what I felt. As I communed with God, the birdsContinue reading “What is Your Purpose?”

The Glory of God

The Glory of God. What does that mean? That is something that I seek to explore in this post. While reading John 17, I began wondering about Jesus’ prayer to the Father. Specifically, I wanted to dive into what He was asking the Father for. So beginning the prayer, He states, “glorify the Son thatContinue reading “The Glory of God”

This Morning

The first thing I notice when I walk out onto the back porch this morning is the glisten of the frost as the light reflects from the “street” light. You read that right. There is a “street” light situated between my back yard and the neighbor’s yard behind my house. It makes little sense toContinue reading “This Morning”

Lord, Strengthen Us

It has been a very trying time in this house. There have been a number of issues that have to be worked out soon. However, I am tired. Oh so tired! Many of the tasks required to be done are just so very draining, and it is difficult to find the motivation to finish thisContinue reading “Lord, Strengthen Us”

To Know and Love God

There has been a lot of resources that guide Christians in various aspects of our lives. These are well-meaning resources, but without the foundation of the Holy Bible they are meaningless and misleading. The most important resources that we have – outside of God Himself speaking directly and audibly to us – are prayer andContinue reading “To Know and Love God”

In the Blink of an Eye

There are so many things to be grateful for and so many things that I have mourned the loss of. One of those major losses that I have mourned in my life is my relationship with my Nona. She was an absolute delight and a major influencer in my life. She was arguably the greatestContinue reading “In the Blink of an Eye”

Where is it?

There are so many things that we as a people juggle. When leaving the house to go wherever we need to go, we have to remember our wallet, our keys, our phone, and then other stuff that we need for whatever task we have set out to accomplish. While gathering those items, I have sortContinue reading “Where is it?”

On the Struggle Bus

Let me tell y’all, there has been a lot of difficulties going on here. I am not sure what sort of difficulties you all face, but I can guess that you have something going on. If not, just you wait. Something will come up out of the blue for you. That is just a partContinue reading “On the Struggle Bus”

Reading List

Are you the type that plans out a reading list for the year, and somewhere within the first month that reading list gets pushed toward the bottom of your ‘to do’ list? Or are you one of the type of person to be dedicated to your reading list? Or are you like me, and youContinue reading “Reading List”

The Lord’s Servant: The Exalted Sin-Bearer

The book of Isaiah has caught my attention in this season in my life. There has been a lot that has happened over the last couple of months. These events pushed my emotional and physical boundaries in ways I never thought could happen. However, my faith has only gotten stronger as each experience has beenContinue reading “The Lord’s Servant: The Exalted Sin-Bearer”
