Accepting God's answers that we don't like.

The Book of Habakkuk is currently my favorite in the Bible, though it isn't the sort many people would be too happy to accept. It certainly isn't for those who view our Lord as the Santa Claus-god, or the genie in the b…
A lesson from God in working patience.

I'll admit, it isn't the cutest bench in the world. The legs are wobbly and the top has holes drilled into it forming a giant cribbage board, but the Garage Sale price-tag only read $5.00. At almost three feet long, …
The Worth of the Unemployed

I was just watching a news segment on the Lehman Brothers-bankruptcy filing. ABC was shooting footage of former employees carrying out their office-belongings in bags and boxes. Coffee cups, notebooks, mousepads, frame…
In a cage with an open door.

This is Maximus, the family parakeet. In his eight years, he has lived with my sister, then my parents, and as of 3 months ago, me. When he was a baby, he wasn't handled much, causing him to be unfriendly; consequent…

Yesterday, I shared the awful thought I had concerning my neighbor. I shudder to think I really felt that way. Logically I can argue that though I did feel him deserving of Jesus’ grace, I didn’t want to be the one to t…
The Nightmare with the Unnamed Fear.

In the dream I'm terrified. I’m waiting in a bustling, quaint village that is adjacent to a tall, wide, domed tunnel that is over a hundred miles long. Its walls and floor are a featureless, glaring white, it is utterl…
Walk in the fruit and leave the fight to God.

Many teachings today say if you have faith, you have enough. I don't think so. Perhaps they confuse "faith in God and the Word" with "walking in faith." But even there, if you claim to have faith in God's word, you ca…
New Addition: Asoro's Fourth Gale of Yeshua

For anyone who has lost their "forever" pet, you know the size of the space they leave behind. Our Golden Retriever, Alec, left a void so large that it's still felt five weeks later. It used to be that when I came to m…
"The wind blew all that night."

Then Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the Lord opened up a path through the water with a strong east wind. The wind blew all that night, turning the seabed into dry land. So the people of Israel walked through th…
