We are fed by feeding

  • Forgiveness

    I thank God every day for my friends. I thank him for many other things as well, but I have a few friends who have been on my mind a lot lately. I have a very dear friend who wants to lose weight and has asked me to walk with her. After a few months…

  • The Stumbling Blocks of Writing

    Although I don’t suffer from the illusion that I have readers, I have struggled with the idea that I do not write on this blog (or any of my others) with any consistency. I have tried. I have had a lot of ideas, but the world has a way of saying “not now” far too…

  • Pour It On

    John 13:3-9 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began…

  • Intelligent Design

    I can see no reason why a man, or other animals, may not have been aboriginally produced by other laws, and that all these laws may have been expressly designed by an omniscient Creator, who foresaw every future event and consequence. But the more I think the more bewildered I become; as indeed I probably…

  • Is Jesus a Liberal or a Conservative?

    Nothing will anger one side of the political divide more than the other side claiming that Jesus would agree with them. But, what would Jesus do in regard to politics? Paul tells us in Romans that we are to obey our leaders because their right to govern was given to them by God. Some might…

  • Serenity

    GOD, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Living One day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace. Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is,…

  • My Spotlight on Locust and Honey

    I was recently featured on the Locust and Honey blog of John the Methodist. Thanks for including me and I am humbled that anyone cares to read what I have to say.

  • Rapture Teaching: Is it Harming the Church?

    Rapture Teaching: Is it Harming the Church?

    Can we spend too much time looking at the end times stories and waste the time were were supposed to spend bearing fruit?

  • Standing in the Need of Prayer

    Lately, I have fallen behind on several things, one of which is this blog. I enjoy writing because it clears my head and helps me focus my own thoughts. This blog has helped me give a lot more thought to issues that are important to me – faith, family, and other things that I didn’t…

  • You Get What You Expect

    Do you know this person? Are you this person? I used to think I was cursed because people always came to me with their problems. I couldn’t solve them, but I could certainly provide a comforting word and once I learned that I didn’t need to solve everyone else’s problems, I began to realize that…
