Constancy- Responding Consistently
Mathew 6:33(HCSB) But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you. In preparing to write the final blog of this series, “As We Respond, He Responds,” I’ve been reminded of our deep & desperate need for stillness. Let’s look at more of the text: Matthew…
A Poem on Worship
In the lull of a morning In the hush of a crowd In His arms ever reaching In the praising Him loud In conflict and strife In deep-seated sorrow In the loss of my pride In the wasted time, borrowed In uncertainty and certainty In the worries sure to come In the sweet Savior’s constancy In…
Whale Tale
I recently started school. I ought to be giving the best hours of my day to this new, exciting adventure. I will, just not today. You see, a new day has dawned. My kids are prayerfully safe in their classrooms, their books and their minds being opened. There is still laundry to be done, calories…
Abba Father
In writing this blog, I thought a lot of my childhood. I was reminded that it’s human nature to associate the roles our earthly fathers played to sort of a man-made God realm.

At the gathering I referenced an extremely…
Lessons in Kite Flying
I am intrigued by newness of God’s mercies every morning. I reflect on the mishaps of yesterday and instead of learning to fly a kite, I am the kite, tossed about by the wind. When a gust lifts me up enough to initiate flight, I fall forward hard, tumbling, bruised. But there is forward motion.…
Underdogs
There is just something inspiring about an underdog story. There is a unique, perhaps je ne sais quoi in a story that has absolutely no logical or reasonable explanation for an underdog win. I have always loved those kinds of stories, but recently I realized why. I am the underdog. Bear with me, I am…
