Discovering the Mystery of Who I Am in Christ
God help me to live purposefully. Help me to accomplish those things that I don't want to do or the things that are overwhelming. God says, "Do it!" You have authority over these things in your life. You decide. You make decisions. Scrolling down Facebook is living in reaction mode. We give ourselves over to …
Tonight, I am up in prayer, thinking of the mothers and fathers with their children, huddled on a mountain in Syria, awaiting the worst possible fate. I think of the nations of the world, sterilized by the lie that somehow this unchecked brutal slaughter of innocents is better than war. If there was ever a …
What are you doing today, when you hear the news that 90 Christians, including children are captured by ISIS? Do you go numb? Do you keep scrolling? Do you shake your head and shut it out? Do you get afraid? Are you like my friend who sent me a song and said, "This is what …
Today, I dropped my daughter off to school with track forms in hand. So excited to try her "hand" at running, she woke up early this morning and made everyone omelets. I love my sweet daughter, my first-born. Born in the very early days of my adulthood, virtually a child myself, my Ariel birthed me …
In face of the great evil we all see and feel in the world, I felt compelled to write a blog on the origin of evil. Now, you may be wondering, like the rest of us today, about how such great evil can happen in the world. A mother killing her children. ISIS raping young …

Have you ever had an emotional kick in the gut? I just had one reading a Lenten post. I have a confession to make. I have never given up anything for Lent. I kind of just ignore all the blog posts and social media buzzes. Why? I don't know, really. It's not an intentional omission. …
Stunned. Emotions. Who is she? Where is she now? What is her name? Where did she go? Did she know that her sacrificial act of befriending a neighbor would affect so many? Did she fight when she heard God's voice? Did she feel inadequate? Did she say, "My ministry is in the home, not sharing …
The Apostle Paul talks about the value of singleness. Too many people in their twenties, (single or married) live for themselves and do not embrace the place they can have in the Body of Christ. One of my favorite topics. I liked this succinct blog. So, I re-blogged it.
So there’ve been all these posts lately talking about “things that 20-something’s should stop doing…” It’s easy for me to point out what people aren’t doing, but it’s probably more beneficial for us to think of things we should be doing… So here’s a list of 10 things (random and not in any particular order) that 20-somethings (this also goes for TEENAGERS, as well as those beyond their 20’s) should start doing:
1. Be a Mentor. You probably have a lot to give. You’ve been through a lot, you’ve made mistakes, and you’ve probably learned a lot of lessons. Go share that with someone who’s where you were just a few short years ago. Every Timothy needs a Paul.

I just read an article where a woman commenter asked the blogger how to know if a movie/show is something she should be watching. She wanted to know how to choose what TV shows God would approve of without having to read the Bible. (She really didn't want it to come to that.) I was …
There once was a word that the world had heard; It was treasured above selfish banter. Poems and songs captured in throngs, The essence of, now silently slandered. Gone are the days of the union of us. This two letter word that's now shunned. Replaced by the thrust of a wander lust, For self-centeredness now …
