Personal Babylon

Ever wake up one morning and feel like things have changed so much you are in you own Personal Babylon? (Inspired by the DISCIPLINES devotional.) These days things change so fast you don’t have to be very old to know old answers no longer work, and new is always just around the corner. We rebel,… Continue reading

A Conflict of What’s Best

How do you make decisions? I suspect we all go through the same process. I recently had a terrific offer, but had to say no. It saddened me to do so, but I think God is showing me some new things. Hope this helps someone. Continue reading

God’s All

I’ve written on this subject before, But it keeps popping up in all the devotional spots in my life, And is being addressed by other people I’m around, So I am again addressing the divisions people insist on drawing. So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of… Continue reading

Holy Week Mixed Feelings

Holy Week has always been difficult for me. After all I’m the person who cries over touching commercials. I don’t handle Hallmark Channel well, but I’ve come to know this week and Easter does hold something for me, and I hope some new idea or a reminder of things for you. A blessed week and… Continue reading

Sometmes Quietly

I love the days of quiet spirit. I sometimes forget to write about them, concentrating of the ‘urge to vent’ or get out the churning ideas and feelings. But today I record the quiet days feeling… enjoy. Continue reading

HALFWAY GIVERS

The ideal of Christian living is giving myself totally to God. We all talk about it, but it’s never been easy for me to do it in reality. What does it look like for me? We like to think we fully trust God immediately after becoming a Christian. But sometimes what’s possible and what really… Continue reading

The Past Is Gone, But…?

Yeah, sure, the past is gone and tomorrow never comes, so just be in the moment…. live for today. In a sense that is true. But somehow the richness of life is lost when we try so hard to put away all the past. As Christians the past can become a foundation. The reminder of… Continue reading

Asking, Seeking, Knocking and Finding

It amazes me how quickly my attention and asking what’s next shifts from you to what’s happening around me. And I get frustrated when I don’t get answers. In my devotions I was reminded (again) the answers I get from secular places only satisifes the secular. If I want Life answers, I need to ask… Continue reading
