ONLY What’s Done For Christ Will Last!

I did this blog twice and it disappeared. I guess that is a good metaphor for how I feel these days. After 21 years my work decided that they no longer needed me. My natural response? Feel worthless, hurt, review all the things that I thought they should have been more grateful for, be a […]

WHY DOES GOD ALLOW COVID-19?

Why is it that when the team is winning, they take the credit, but when they lose it is the coach’s fault? The worst possible thing that can happen to people is comfort and ease while they happily sin. Read the Bible, every time God comes through and brings victory and prosperity; the people respond […]

Welcome!

Who I am: I am a child of God who loves to go to the Bible and ask the question, “If these things be so, what manner of person ought I then to be? God has designed me with a “So then, what?” brain. Then, to help me find and share answers, I was saved […]

Feel Worthless? Good!

The Touch of the Master’s Hand ‘Twas battered and scarred, and the auctioneer      Thought it scarcely worth his whileTo waste much time on the old violin,      But held it up with a smile.“What am I bidden, good folks,” he cried,    “Who’ll start the bidding for me?”“A dollar, a dollar. Then […]

BE RADICALLY PRACTICAL

A POSITIVE SPIN

We have all heard the saying, “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” As people of faith, this actually makes sense. The world wants me to take God’s gifts for granted, find fault with my reality, compare with the illusion of other’s reality and wish my reality would just magically change. / Faith suggests that […]

FAMILIAR almost comfortable? WORRY

Someone points out that worry can take over and have no clear trigger, be there all the time and even become “comfortable” or at least familiar .. Even with panic attacks, they tend to be attached to worrying about the next one–anticipatory worry– which starts to blend together into constant anxiety. The way the brain […]

YEA! I CAN DO NOTHING

John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. I saw this verses’ goal as being to remind me to let go of trying to be strong. When the Bible tells me […]
