Zoom…Out
We like to see growth. We see it in nature as the trees get taller each year. Our crops grow before our eyes. As do our children. In business, we see expansions and financial growth. Our coworkers move up the ladder or on to bigger and better things. We move up, too. Or we change … Continue reading Zoom…Out
Who Am I…
Point of Grace asks “LORD, Who am I that YOU would speak to me so softly…?” How can I even think to be worthy of any conversation with GOD much less be found worthy of a drop of grace? I was thinking of the woman with the issue of blood…and wondering if I would be … Continue reading Who Am I…
Dead in CHRIST
I’ve thought this before but never in these words. The flesh is the grave…we are all dust, clay, made from the earth. And we are all dying, naturally. But today, as I was reading, it hit me that we are in fact dead…the flesh is dead; it is rotten and rotting with every passing moment. … Continue reading Dead in CHRIST
Thoughts on Irony
A coworker of mine recently made a comment about the irony of life…and it made me think of an email I never sent. I had a friend accuse me of having so many contradictions. In the unsent message, I explained how I do not contradict myself though it seems I do. Even as Yoda says … Continue reading Thoughts on Irony

The men who bound them and who threw them into the flames were immediately burned by the roaring fire. Yet these three calmly walked in the midst, … Continue reading Fires

Do we?
I've been reading Jeremiah lately and I'll tell you, I can't help but wonder if it isn't about the current state of the world. You see, I don't believe in time. I don't think it exists. Yes, we have clocks and calendars, but they are means of organization. That's it. Something that people made to … Continue reading Do we?
What Level Are You?
I believe that life is painful in so many ways for so many people. And pain affects people in different ways. People who live with emotional pain are or can be depressed or needy, ill or difficult to get along with. People with physical pain can be cranky or irritated. Something that is hard for … Continue reading What Level Are You?
Wanting…
When my oldest child was a baby, the doctor said what goes in will come out…liquid in, liquid out. You know, those words have stuck with me all this time. We are what we consume. Sometimes I go back and read through my posts… and there are things I see that I’ve learned, but never … Continue reading Wanting…
