We say that God is the sun; we equate His glory to the light of the sun. But God created the sun. He is Lord over the sun. We don’t worship the creation, we worship the Creator. And that’s the problem: we sit here and put things like the beach, the mountains, the sunrise…all this … Continue reading The Sun

Strings
My feet planted firmly on the ground Slip and slide beneath meAs my arms stretched out wideTwisted and pulled violently Eyes dart back and forth Taking stock of everything Hearing voices sounding wordsBut not fully comprehending Rooted in place, still as can beTrying to go unnoticed But here I am on display The puppet center, … Continue reading Strings
Thought for the Day
Every now and then, I have a “thought for the day” that I write and share with a few close friends. Today the thought was from Colossians. I want to share what I wrote for today, but first tell a little story. Like other parents out there, I try so hard to keep up with … Continue reading Thought for the Day
Farther
Farther along…but just how much farther do we have? Every journey has a destination…some trips last longer than others. Some roads are bumpy. Some are smooth. Some roads stretch on straight out before us as far as we can see, while others have hairpin curves, twists and turns leaving us holding on for dear life. … Continue reading Farther
Walking
On my walk today, I was reminded of the need to breathe. Sometimes life has a way of making you stop or slow down and focus on your breathing for a moment. And I was reminded to take a minute and look around at all God’s glory. Just take a moment and listen to the … Continue reading Walking
How Often…
How often do we lie to ourselves? When we look into the mirror, do we see ourselves as we are, or do we see our reflection distorted by our imagination? Do we show ourselves any grace? How often do we tell ourselves we’re not good enough? How often do we put ourselves down? How often … Continue reading How Often…
Listening
Sitting outside listening to the birds sing… oh to be that happy and carefree! I am so tired of fighting… I feel like every day is a battle… There is so much strife in life, in work, in everything, and I’m just so tired. Tell me what to do, Lord, I’m listening for your Word. … Continue reading Listening
Butterflies
Sometimes I just need to draw a butterfly… When I start to panic and think about drawing some lines, I try to think “butterfly.” Let's try to be positive and spread some cheer instead of hurt and pain. What if we change, not just how we look, but how we see? You know the caterpillar … Continue reading Butterflies
Tunnels
The light at the end of the tunnel…I once joked that the light flickered and faded and all I saw was the dark tunnel. Here’s the question: what is the tunnel? Usually they are underground…a way to go from one place to another. Sometimes it is cool, temperature wise, with the earth on all sides. … Continue reading Tunnels
Knowing
You know what our problem is many times? In my opinion it is that we think we have to know everything. Job 37: 23-24 (KJV) states, "Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict. Men do therefore fear … Continue reading Knowing
