Only Faith Can Satisfy

An honest look at life will produce confusion.  But confusion isn’t bad, it’s good, because in the middle of confusion we become aware of a passionate desire to know that Someone strong and kind is working behind all we see, moving things carefully toward a just and joyful conclusion.
God does enlighten us on certain points.  We [...]

Day-Light Savings Time

Time is the most undefinable yet paradoxical of things; the past is gone, the future is not come, and the present becomes the past even while we attempt to define it, and, like the flash of lightning, at once exists and expires.
~Charles Caleb Colton
You’ve heard it said: Time is fleeting.
I’m fairly sure it’s [...]

A Tribute

To George and Laura Bush and their Love
One of the sweetest love stories of our time.
They celebrated their 31st wedding anniversary on November 5, 2008.  The rest of the world was busy with the election at that time.   I felt it fitting to pay tribute and remember their story.

Who could have predicted that when Joe and [...]

Waves of Grief

Dealing with grief and mourning is hell on earth, I think. I am thankful it is the only hell we’ll ever have to experience; and while that is good to know, it doesn’t make it any easier to get through the day.
It comes in waves, doesn’t it?
At times it’s calm.
But then, a huge wave of [...]

God’s Networking Skills

Have you ever lived abroad? Have you ever made a big move? Sometimes the moves are for adventurous reasons and other times they are made out of necessity. We’ve experienced both in our life.
Early in our marriage we had the opportunity to spend a year in England. I remember the day Phat came home to tell me [...]

Who Am I — Amazing Grace!

We are not the point. 
He is. 
Yet . . . He chose to love us . . . to redeem us . . .
. . . for Himself!! 
And in return . . . we will love.

 
We love, because He first loved us. 
1John 4:19
For God so loved [...]

The Father is Glorified

I believe it is an impossible task to do justice to John 15 in a blog post.  Of course, this is not the first time I’ve felt this way.  It’s been a huge task to properly exegete these chapters and then condense the teaching into a post.  I’ve attempted, a few times, to share a portion of what [...]

Who is Your Father?

A Blogged Bible Study entry on John 8:
Stepping into the blogosphere took me away from my isolated existence.  Somehow, somewhere the thought came for me to blog.  I asked my family what it meant and they got me started.  I jumped in looking for places of interest to me, which led me down the path [...]

Unconditional Love

When I tell the story of Phat and I falling in love, it almost sounds like a fairy tale.  It’s fun to think about the way we met and the sweet looks we exchanged.  But…truth be told, it wasn’t so easy.  Sure it was fun but I was a basket case…in counseling…in need of understanding, [...]
