It’s been about 10 years since I had a new pair of glasses. With my prescription, that’s quite a long time to be wearing the same pair. My old glasses were falling apart. The lenses were scratched, cloudy, the frames had been bent, and they didn’t sit quite square on my face anymore. They were…
I live in a big metropolitan area in southern California, but I love nature, and always try to be out in it when I can be. Sometimes in the early morning, or late at night, everything else is quiet enough that I can hear the birds sing. I love those moments. Especially in the spring…
Being a mom means I’m often one of the leaders in the household. It means I have many decisions to make each day, and many little crises to solve. For some people, I think that’s energizing. For me it’s exhausting. Sometimes I can’t even consider making another executive decision that day. I just want someone…
Sometimes in my life I’ve felt so loaded down with burdens, so obligated to other people and other agendas that I don’t know how I can bear up under it. I stumble along, until finally I realize I’m carrying other people’s expectations on my back, and they’re affecting me in a terrible way. This is…
The Bible talks about us inheriting a faith from Abraham. That we are of his “lineage”, not by blood, but because of faith. Romans 4:13 says, “For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.”…
Has God’s grace ever surprised you? Have you had those moments when you know in your head that something about God is true – you believe it – but then something happens and it becomes personal to you? You now understand it? The Grace of God Years ago, I had a traumatic medical experience. The…
Do you ever think about how God’s definition of love looks nothing like our definition of love? We could blame Hollywood here, but let’s face it, Hollywood is a reflection of the way our society thinks. Based on what we see in our entertainment, our society has no idea what love really truly is. When…
Procrastination. Does anyone else struggle with this? Please tell me I’m not alone. A little more than two years ago, I lost one of those tiny pins that help hold my glasses together. I tend to not take care of things I need very quickly… this means my husband jury rigged a solution – he…
I’ve been discussing ways to stay fresh in our daily walk with God… something I’ve found I need so much more the older I get. The first two points were to see things through the eyes of new Christians, and to keep a proper perspective of my own abilities. This last point is to get…
The last two posts I’ve made here have been about keeping our faith fresh versus going stale in our spiritual walk. It’s too easy for me to become a person who is so used to hearing all the things about Christianity that I’d get bored by it. And I don’t want to be that way….
In my first post, I talked about the difference between seeing our Christian walk with a fresh attitude, versus a stale attitude. Am I seeing the Bible as something new and amazing? Or has it become commonplace? Recently I was in a discussion where we were talking about the first century Christians, and suddenly I…
“I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.”~ Revelation 3:14-16 I know two different types of ladies, both have been Christians for a long time – decades. Both…
