WHY IS THE TRAINING TO FLY AS A CHRISTIAN, SO DIFFICULT?…
fly I spent much of May traveling. The first trips in May were on planes. When I think of flying, I think of freedom, soaring, being above the fray. Traveling by air isn’t much like that anymore. It is more burdensome these days. We have so many rules to go by to even get our… Read more

WHEN POVERTY OF SPIRIT IS A GOOD THING FOR PRAYER…
For those of you who regularly read my blog…the 10’s of you, I must apologize for the sporadic nature of my postings the past few months. I should have planned better and posted old posts on a regular schedule so you wouldn’t have known better. I’m in flux. I have joined Hope*Writers, a writing group… Read more

WHEN YOU TURN, YOU MUST CHANGE. WHERE DO YOU NEED TO TURN?…
When we talk about turning, we usually mean making a change of some sort, sometimes it means an epic change. Sometimes we need to turn around and look at something to get our attention for the first time. It’s another way of saying, Pay attention!

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU FEEL “OTHER THAN” THOSE AROUND YOU?…
Recently, I was challenged to think of a time when I felt other than the people around me. It wasn’t difficult. That has been a common experience for me throughout most of my life! I have usually felt like the odd man out. The weird one. The one who didn’t fit. [bctt tweet=”Recently, I was… Read more

DO YOU CLUTCH TIGHTLY TO THE WORTHLESS RATHER THAN RELEASE IT?…
Have you ever seen a small child in a room with toys they never played with before? Often, they run from one to another and instead of playing with them, they grab one, then another and another until their arms are so full of toys that it is impossible to play with them. But they… Read more

DO YOU FEEL YOU NEED TO SETTLE OR ARE YOU GROWING?…
This weekend is the celebration of the culmination of the purpose for Christ’s coming to earth the first time. We hear the Easter story over and over until its profoundness gets lost on us.
