talking heads
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes… Romans 1:16 On Saturday, we went to Knott’s Berry Farm because we had free tickets. It was extremely packed, so we watched a couple of shows, ate lunch and got out of…

framework
For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust. Ps 103:14 This is a house. Sort of. It’s just a frame really. Just a skeleton. Although the walls are really important, and the windows, and the roof will be essential, the frame IS the house. Without the frame, there is no house. These past…

Five years of Nuttiness
Yesterday was my daughter Gemma’s birthday. She is five years old. The picture above is from her party over the weekend. That’s Claudia, her best buddy. My daughter is a nutty girl. She’s fun, she’s silly, she’s smart, she’s cute, and every now and then says something truly profound. Tonight we were playing hopscotch in…

runaway
On Thursday night, on the way home from work, I saw a young man walking on the side of the road. I live in the sticks, so it’s not a real normal place to be walking to begin with. And I took a closer look and the figure seemed familiar. I got dropped off at…

Striving and Peace
Cease striving and know that I am God… Psalm 46:10 This verse is most often rendered: “Be Still and know that I am God” But I love the way the NASB phrases it. To “cease striving”. Today is saturday and a lovely one at that. I slept in, cut the grass, had mexican food for…

it’s settled
Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven. Psalm 119:89 What’s the first thing you think about when you wake up in the morning? For me — it’s usually some song that starts playing in my mind. But yesterday, the first thought that pops into my head is this: “Your going to be killed…

O how good
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brothers to dwell together in unity! Psalm 133:1 I love the brotherhood of faith in Christ. I just came from a prayer meeting with a group of people I don’t know all that well. What I have joyfully discovered though over the years is this: Whether…
