Earlier this week I was reminded of a habit I had during a season in my life. A good habit! My current Sunday school class is about Habits of the Household with content coming from the book by Justin Early. It takes a look at the habits of our rhythms and routines of the dayContinue reading “Oh be careful…”

“Glory in the Darkest Place”
Happy New Year my friends! This evening I am sharing yet another song! :D. This song caught my ears and attention just before Christmas. I was captivated by the words of prayer and worship. It spoke to the part of my mind/heart that was a bit weary in response to the sin and temptation thatContinue reading ““Glory in the Darkest Place””
Behold Him!
Christmas Day is upon us! :D. I like words. Okay, yes that seems to jump thoughts. I like some words. Better? To today’s point, some words seem to grab a hold of my heart, mind, and soul just a bit more than others. Often I don’t think those words are used as much in ourContinue reading “Behold Him!”
Vulnerable Risk?
I recently attended the Restored Hope Network’s annual conference in Rocklin, CA! What a joy to be with Jesus and others on the same journey; listening, sharing, praying, worshipping and learning. One of the speaker’s shared a quote that impacted their journey significantly. “If you want to experience unconditional love, you have to share theContinue reading “Vulnerable Risk?”
Joy in Jesus!
A piece of my local church’s belief and mission statement is that we find our “greatest joy in Jesus”. Sometime little sayings like this nudge a little eye roll or an off put attitude – even though I know it is good truth. In the times when I personally reflect upon my struggles with temptation and oftenContinue reading “Joy in Jesus!”
Vision 2024
Recently as part of a men’s small group I am involved were presented with the question, “What is your Vision for 2024?” While I liked the question I was not too keen on needing to respond to it in such a quick turn around time. I like to think, ponder and really reflect. Without much time to reallyContinue reading “Vision 2024”
Difficult Grace
After publishing my last post I took a look at my draft posts I had started; it had been a LONG time since I had posted anything. I found this short one I had written in December of 2020. Three years later now, this is quite applicable considering my recent post The Punch of Self-Righteousness.Continue reading “Difficult Grace”
The Punch of Self-Righteousness
Recently I heard a brother’s testimony and I was struck by his word choice. As he shared some of his journey he described the condition of his heart in relation to the heart of Jesus. He used the descriptor “self-righteous”. It grabbed my attention for a couple of reasons, one, this man is a dearContinue reading “The Punch of Self-Righteousness”

Suppressers of Truth
Hello again. As I was typing out the verses from Romans 1 some additional thoughts came to mind. Those very verses are full of warning, conviction and direction. Right from the get go “men in their unrighteousness suppress the truth”. What does that look like, just how do we suppress the truth? How do IContinue reading “Suppressers of Truth”
