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…
Close, and Closer…
I’ve always wondered about keeping your friends close and your enemies closer. I mean I’ve always found it to be true…that those closest to me are the ones who hurt me the most. It’s in Micah. (7:6) I’m going to put the next verse in my words…he says let me alone in my darkness, GOD … Continue reading Close, and Closer…
Praise
How do you praise GOD in the storm? Maybe instead of seeing the storm, we should see what could have been…if GOD is not with us, how much worse would the storm have been? Maybe the storm we face is a blessing. We could have seen the storm that took out Sodom or Tyrus, but … Continue reading Praise

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
Faith and Confidence
We all know the story of Daniel in the lions’ den. How his enemies conspired against him to put him there. How his GOD shut up the mouths of the lions and protected him. How even the king at that time was concerned with Daniel’s survival… Oh to have that faith, especially when the trials … Continue reading Faith and Confidence
All Over the Place
So, I’ve been doing a good bit of soul-searching lately. And I’m quite confused. Part of me is like “Oh, okay, that’s gotta be it…” and another part is saying “But wait, what about this…?” Do you ever feel like you take one step forward and five steps back? It’s like the harder you try … Continue reading All Over the Place
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?

I quite often write about letting things go…but how is that accomplished? Do we vent to someone else? Is that getting rid of it, or are we really just fanning the flames? Because I think sometimes that the more I talk about some things, the madder I get. It’s really just adding fuel to the … Continue reading Roots
