To the rest of the world, Christians certainly are an odd bunch. I'm not talking about the ones who faithfully go to church yet don't act like it the rest of the week. Yes, those are an odd bunch, too, but all-in Christians are even odder. It's because our whole way of approaching life is … Continue reading Foundation
Something Stinks
If you have been following the comment string on my Facebook posts, you will notice that I have been very direct with a woman belongs to the cult Jehovah's Witnesses. She's been replying to my posts for awhile, always with bible references. However, the way she did made me think that something stinks. Sure enough, … Continue reading Something Stinks
The Heavens Declare!
Last night we enjoyed a spectacular Mammatus cloud (think mammary). The sunset created a jaw-dropping color and gave it incredible depth. My mother asked me what I thought when I saw it. That was easy. "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork." (Psalm 19:1) The heavens declare the … Continue reading The Heavens Declare!
The Rod of Correction
Promises of blessings. Promises of curses. The bible is full of these. For a reason. God calls us to return to him. Mostly, we ignore him, particularly his rod of correction. You see, nothing happens without God's knowledge. Both good things and bad. Both point you to Him. As for the good things, "...God's kindness … Continue reading The Rod of Correction
You Gotta Want It.
Someone dear to me has a roommate with severe depression. Anyone who has been in these shoes knows how hard it is to see someone in trouble yet refuse your offer to get help. The painful reality is that to improve, you gotta want it. It's one thing to neglect doing dishes because of depression. … Continue reading You Gotta Want It.
Why Do I Do It?
Sometimes I wonder why I write my blog. Several days a week, I compose a message to any who will read it. Honestly, if I was doing this for positive reinforcement, I wouldn't. Why? Because I would be discouraged at how few people respond. So, why do I do it? I write because of what … Continue reading Why Do I Do It?
Just Let It Go
Yesterday, I wrote about the Texas Abortion Law. Same with the day before. Why am I so adamant about getting this message across? Honestly, it is a source of division even within my family. I'm the nut-job, religious freak who keeps bringing Jesus into the conversation. People tend to avoid that. Why won't I just … Continue reading Just Let It Go
Texas Abortion Law
The Texas Abortion Law is really stirring up the Facebook feed. One sarcastic comment from a man I don't know posed an "impossible" question. Suppose you are in a fertility clinic when suddenly there is a life-threatening fire and you are able to either save an 8-year-old child or a vial of 1,000 embryos. Either … Continue reading Texas Abortion Law
My Body, My Choice.
It sounds like the Supreme Court of the United States will allow a new Texas law to go into effect. The law will prohibit providers from performing an abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detected. No exceptions are provided. Some people are very happy. Some, like President Biden and Vice-President Harris, are outraged. "My body, … Continue reading My Body, My Choice.
Does God Forget?
You'll have to take my word on this, but I'm not as young as I used to be. I forget things. If I'm made in God's image (Genesis 1:26), does that mean God ages, too? Does God forget? We won't get far to explain all that here today. Suffice it to say that God always … Continue reading Does God Forget?
