The Word of God exposes our thoughts and motives. This is a scary and awesome truth. I’ve heard many people make comments like “you don’t want to know my thoughts” or “it’s a scary place inside my head.” Yet at the same time, we live expecting people to know what we are thinking and oftentimes … Continue reading Thoughts and Motives

Every Test, Every Temptation
Life is not as easy as it appears on television or social media. As we watch television and see no one working 40 hours a week and yet getting to go to the coffee shop daily, we get a false idea of life in our minds. I like Seinfeld and Friends but who has time … Continue reading Every Test, Every Temptation
Engaged and Attentive
I had three years of class in the Spanish language. There was a time when I was able to hold down a conversation in Spanish. However, today if we would have a conversation in Spanish, I would only grasp some words here or there. I don’t think being able to say “door” and “window” will … Continue reading Engaged and Attentive

Two Lions
Since my travel route has changed a few months ago, I needed a new shortcut. I tried out this shortcut many people are probably familiar with; however, I’m not good with shortcuts. A few times I missed the right turn and my shortcut turned into a longcut. After a few misses, I focused on my … Continue reading Two Lions
Stand Between
After the rebellion of Korah, we read about Aaron standing between the dead and the living. What an interesting display. Aaron stood between the dead and the living with the incense burning to purify the people. This incense was to make the people right with the Lord. He stood between them and the plague stopped. … Continue reading Stand Between
Fog Faith
During the walk this morning, it was quite foggy. It was the kind of fog that when you walk forward, you cannot see a thing. Even so, I know what is supposed to be there. I’ve walked the same path every morning and evening for years. So I walked forward in trust. The Bible speaks … Continue reading Fog Faith
