I never want to write without inspiration. Today, I thought about skipping my post, because I didn’t feel inspired. But then I remembered someone saying — God is always talking, we’re just not always listening. Inspiration can be found every day, because God always has something he wants to share with us. So how do …
I listened to a teaching by Ginny Yttrup yesterday, titled You Can Do This! This was my second time listening, yet it was this year that it lit up like a lightbulb. In fact, this post came out of doing what she said to do when you get stuck: Pause, pray, and persevere. The best …
For the past five or six years I’ve had a word for the year, a word to help me see God working in my life. Last year‘s word was ABUNDANCE. I found that abundance can show up in many different ways; ways I was not necessarily imagining. I expected an abundance of joy. I did …
For “In him we live and move and have our being”; as even some of your own poets have said, “For we are indeed his offspring.” Acts 17:28 ESV We exist, have our being, because of Jesus. The apostle, John, tells it like this: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with …
And now I have a word for you who brashly announce, “Today—at the latest, tomorrow—we’re off to such and such a city for the year. We’re going to start a business and make a lot of money.” You don’t know the first thing about tomorrow. You’re nothing but a wisp of fog, catching a brief …

To be honest, my first title for this post was going to be Weary, Dreary, and Teary. That pretty much describes me this week. Fortunately for you, I will save you from the recounting of my misery. (For those who don’t know, I’m two weeks post op with a broken wrist.) Instead, I want to …
Nothing, anything, and everything. These are the things of God we’ll discover today. First in line are the positive and negative poles of nothing. That’s right, you heard me. I’ll show you what I mean, starting with the negative— For apart from me you can do nothing.John 15:5 NLT The me in this scripture is …
I hear the Lord saying, “I will stay close to you, instructing and guiding you along the pathway for your life. I will advise you along the way and lead you forth with my eyes as your guide. So don’t make it difficult; don’t be stubborn when I take you where you’ve not been before. …
I get excited when I get confirmation for a blog post I’m thinking about during the week. This is one of those. We are careful not to judge people by what they seem to be, though we once judged Christ in this way. Anyone who belongs to Christ is a new person. The past is …
