The Folly of Seeking the Benefits

Once upon a time I had a thought. I mulled over that thought and as minutes turned into hours, hours into days, still I could be found thinking about the Christ, Jesus the Christ to be exact. I thought about the definition of the word Christian, which is “belonging to Christ.” I thought about Jesus as my Life, not just in my life. And finally I thought about the verse found in Galatians 2:20, “I have...

Bible-Driven

There was an awful lot a few years back about the purpose of one’s life. Believers and non-believers alike made one particular book on the subject a best seller. Yet we need only go to our Bibles to find what God says is the purpose that should “drive” us. Colossians 1:16 says, “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be...

Not a Slacker

I bet you think I’ve been sitting on the couch – wrapped in a warm blanket with a nice, big cup of hot, black coffee near me – avoiding this blog. Well you’re close. I usually sit in what I lovingly refer to as my duck chair. It’s a chair with ottoman that are covered in a mallard-themed material. Thus its name. You probably thought it was in the shape of a duck. You really...

Still Relevant

While I was looking through some of my old writings that are saved on this computer, I was surprised by how relevant most of them are today. I realized that my writings on the web began days after the terror attacks on 9-11-2001. Only because I was looking for a more convenient way of publishing what I wrote on the web, the site gradually morphed into blogging. I had no idea what I was getting myself into...

Has it been a month already?

No, as a matter of fact it has not been a month. I think that’s something I can be proud of, don’t you? I must be getting in the swing of things already. It’s hard for me to believe that just a couple of years ago making sure I had something to post daily meant everything to me. I remember spending hours and hours each evening typing away. God forbid a post, if even just a meme,...

Something to Say

Call it an urge or maybe a feeling that it’s time but if I can recall how this whole wordpress bloggy thingy works then I am coming back. God has done so many amazing things in me and my family in the last year that I don’t think I can keep silent anymore. After moving into this house and being led to join a wonderful Spirit-led church family, God has not stopped teaching, stretching and...

The Other Place I Am

It’s good to know that there are saints who have gone before us, Godly people who experienced the same things we have. It’s a comfort to be told that I’m not so strange after all.

So write something then would ya

I have restarted this sentence no less than five times. I want to write here. I want to talk about the amazing things that God is finally opening my eyes of understanding to and yet, where do I even begin? He has shown me so much truth over the last few months. I’ve talked for endless hours on the phone with my sister and other dear friends (who know well how much I dislike the phone) but it seems so...
