Being a Christian in the US today is rough.

Posted on 11 August, 2017 by

 Don’t get me wrong. It’s not as rough as it is in Muslim countries. I can declare my faith openly here without fear of being killed, tortured, losing property or being imprisoned. Being a Christian doesn’t mean that I’ll lose … Continue reading →

Seasons

Posted on 25 March, 2009 by

I love that there are seasons in life.  Living in the Northeast, I am all too familiar with seasons…and the co-mingling of seasons.  Right now, it is technically spring, but we’ve had a bit of a cold snap.  In two … Continue reading →

Expand my tentposts

Posted on 12 March, 2009 by

Every morning, I get an email with a scripture.  Today it was 1 Chronicles 4:9-10. I remember when the book The Prayer of Jabez was first released.  It was revolutionary in its simplicity.  Based on a scripture that so many people, … Continue reading →

I’m sitting here in my pj’s on a Sunday morning just like any other Sunday morning. But there’s something different.  I don’t want to be relaxing today.  I want to be doing.  I want to be a part of something … Continue reading →

I finally cracked open The Reason of God by Tim Keller.  I bought it months ago, but last night I started reading it.  Knee jerk reaction:  I like it.  I don’t get the idea that he is trying to push … Continue reading →

Shades of grey

Posted on 18 May, 2008 by

Today I went to church.  For the first time since I returned from a dental meeting in Boston.  It’s been a while.  A friend invited me.  Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have gone.  Just being honest.  This is how it went … Continue reading →

Whirlwind

Posted on 4 June, 2007 by

I don’t know where to begin in trying to describe this weekend. Whirlwind. Busy. Exhausting. Exhilarating. I think my favorite part of my 9-5 is our Saturday training sessions with the dentists.  I love being in a classroom environment.  I … Continue reading →

Light of the world

Posted on 31 May, 2007 by

Footsteps

Posted on 17 May, 2007 by

This morning, I woke up and I was fah-reaking out.  I realized, in an instant, that I have, once again, fallen into the trap of finding my identity not in Christ but in the things that I do.  Like work.  … Continue reading →

Renewing of the psyche

Posted on 5 May, 2007 by

Today was an excellent day.  I love watching God move…in the lives of my friends, family, acquaintances and people that I’ve just met.  When good things happen, I know that God is blessing people.  When bad things happen, I can … Continue reading →
