Apples and Doors
“Eat the damn apple” Technically, it wasn’t said exactly that way, but the tone…wow! I heard words that weren’t intended…or said. But it got my attention… Isn’t that what we all need sometimes? We need someone to smack us upside the head and help us regain our focus. Not literally, of course, just in a … Continue reading Apples and Doors
Proof
“Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.” Matthew 12:38 (KJV) We look for signs everywhere telling us what to do, where to go, what to speak…we want proof we are going right. Proof is an interesting concept. Elisha spoke to the king and … Continue reading Proof
Impossible
“Let your heart therefore be perfect with the Lord our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.” 1 Kings 8:61 (KJV) This seems like an impossible task. And it is…but it is only impossible because we are mortals and prone to sin. Well, that and the fact … Continue reading Impossible
Purpose and Gifts
We obsess over our purpose. Are we supposed to do this or that? What is my gift to the world? What is my talent? Am I supposed to teach or preach? How will I know what I’m supposed to do, who I’m supposed to be? Just stop. Stop asking the questions. Your purpose is to … Continue reading Purpose and Gifts
Clarity
Like a camera, we have the ability to zoom-in and focus on things in the distance. We can magnify the object in view and see the little details. We gain clarity in our picture. We can bring sights close where we can almost reach out and touch them. It seems so close, so large on … Continue reading Clarity
New Things
There is nothing new under the sun. Sometimes that is a scary thought. To us, we have new experiences, we meet new people, we even take new paths…starting a new job can be a little frightening. Maybe we take the bus for the first time and we are alone in the journey; it’s totally new … Continue reading New Things
Rumors
"Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross." Proverbs 26:23 (KJV) Start a rumor and watch it spread. Those glass shards are almost impossible to eradicate...they find places to penetrate and cause all kinds of problems. People are drawn to the shiny pieces of gossip. Why, then, can’t we … Continue reading Rumors
A Time
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV)So many times in my life I try to force things… I force relationships…I force deadlines… I force decisions… Conversations… Writing…and I know these things are forced and therefore fruitless. Nothing works on “my” time. I must … Continue reading A Time
Prayer
Have you ever needed to pray for something, but didn't know the words to use? Have you ever sat and cried just because it was all you could do? Have you ever sighed so loud, with so much weight on your mind? Or ever stopped in your tracks, looked up, helpless as a child? These … Continue reading Prayer
