Stumped About Your Future?

OK, I am totally loving the title I chose for today! Hopefully, by the end of this post, you’ll understand why. In the Bible Study I have been participating in, we have been studying the book of Isaiah, and every once in a while, I like to share a few of the nuggets I’ve gained …

What Isaiah Saw

Fall has come to the Boonies. Pretty glorious, huh? Wish you could be here to see it! And speaking of seeing glorious things…. (not a GREAT segue, but the best I can come up with to go with the pretty picture….and you know…I’ve been doing a study in the book of Isaiah, and sharing some …

Gentleness Is Not For Weenies

This week’s fruit of the Spirit that I’m studying has been “gentleness”. As I was getting ready to open the workbook, and imagining how Beth Moore might approach this fruit, I was feeling a little relieved. I mean, week after week, she keeps teaching things that convict me. I don’t THINK she’s been trying to …

Cords of Connection

My Father. I have been thinking a lot about the radicalness of Jesus calling God “Father” and “My Father”, thanks to a series of lessons that our pastor at church as been teaching on our identity in Christ. My identity in Christ is that I am forever in covenant with God, forever the child of …

Gates of Brass

I know I haven’t been blogging much, but if I don’t talk about this, I think I’m going to blow up. I’ve been pretty low, lately. Pretty much in a funk. But the Lord has really GOOD hearing, and can even hear you when you’re lying face down in a wagon wheel rut. Which works …

Abba

OK, I wanna start out by saying that in today’s post, I will not be talking about this Abba: I know this will be a load off the mind of several of you who have lived through the disco era. Now, if the real, unvarnished truth be told, I actually liked several of their songs, …

Sin Mountain

I’m still reading the book TrueFaced, written by Bill Thrall, Bruce McNicol, and John Lynch. And, I’m still sharing concepts and illustrations that come directly from that book. This is not original stuff of my own. You should buy the book and read it. Why am I doing this? Writing it helps me to further …

For Such A Worm As I

If you have any history whatsoever of growing up in church, you may have sung a hymn that I also sang in church as a child, whose original lyrics have fallen out of favor. In fact, they are so politically incorrect that some hymnbooks have changed them. The hymn to which I am referring is …

Finding the Balance

I’m afraid this painting isn’t going to give you the instant point that I am trying to make, but I love it so much that I really want to use it. It’s a Vermeer, and it’s called “Woman Holding a Balance”. Which is the point I’m going for, but you’ll really have to look hard …

Resisting the Holy Spirit

This morning, I read Acts 7, where Stephen becomes the first follower of Jesus who is killed for his beliefs. And I think I “got it” in a way I haven’t gotten it before. Now, the action really starts in chapter 6. In verse 8 of that chapter, Stephen is described as a man full …

Back to the Basics

OK, I know I have been AWOL for a while now. And I’m sorry about that. I have been trying to solve some health issues that have been plaguing me, and I think my doctor and I are on the right track. It seems I have some hypothyroid issues going on. So, for several weeks …

Shake It Off

Have you ever realized, after the fact, that you had been given a test, and you failed it? I have. I failed one on Sunday. With all my posting on the psalms, with all my love of God’s Word, I expect more of myself than what I am about to reveal in the following incident. …
