I woke up feeling pretty cruddy; I'm fighting a chest cold. Probably from being so busy before I left and then traveling.

I'm often amazed that God built a day of rest into each week. It's one of those things that really helps me to conceptualize that He really cares for us and knows what we need even more than we do. ...continue reading "Lent 2016: March 19, Day 39- Day of Rest"

Published on Leave a comment on Lent 2016: March 5, Day 25 -Temptation

I should be leaving
But I can't cut loose
I have my reasons for resistance
But I have no excuse
And I lose my composure
I could use some restraint
I never claimed to be a hero
And I never said I was a saint

She's such a temptation
It's driving me crazy
And it's my fascination
That's making me act this way
And I can just hear all my friends say
"Better watch out, you're losing your touch"
But she's such a temptation

When we don't get what we deserve
That's a real good thing, a real good thing
When we get what we don't deserve
That's a real good thing, a real good thing

In recent posts, I've been exploring the Lord's Prayer as a template for daily prayer. I've procrastinating on today's topic because I feel very humble to even try to comment on the topic, forgiveness. ...continue reading "Lent 2016: February 21, Day 12 -Foundational Forgiveness"

Published on Leave a comment on Lent 2016: February 10, Day 1 -God Gratitude

Each year I try to give up something during the Lenten season. I find that it gives me a concrete point of concentration to draw closer to God by thinking about Him and talking to Him whenever I would normally have or want the thing I am giving up.

This year, however, I have been uninspired as to what to give up. Usually it is obvious, something I like, and usually something I probably shouldn’t have so much anyway. I’ve done Mt Dew, meat, fear, potato products, desserts, and mental distractions like music and audio books in the car. But this year, nothing sounded exactly right. ...continue reading "Lent 2016: February 10, Day 1 -God Gratitude"

"And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this?"
Esther 4:14, New American Standard Bible

I am prone to minor obsessions. If I find a book, movie, show, or topic that alights my imagination, I tend to think about, dream about it, have imaginary conversations about it, and then inexplicably, I move on.

My latest minor obsession is George Washington's Revolutionary War Culper Spy Ring. ...continue reading "For Such a Time as This"
