Last year my BSGs did a study on Revelation. It was a challenging deep dive into one of the most mysterious books of the Bible. Any Hollywood script writer or New York Times bestselling author would probably consider the story told in Revelation to be a pinnacle piece. It weaves its way through the story of the complacencyContinue reading “Two Witnesses”

The Bible
He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.” Luke 24:44 As I’ve progressed in the study of the Bible, I’ve learned that the entire Bible teaches us about one subject – Jesus. FromContinue reading “The Bible”
Night & Day
God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. Genesis 1:5 For about six months one year I barely slept. I had terrible sinus issues and when I laid down they were exacerbated. What little sleep I got was sitting up and in short bursts. Eventually, the lackContinue reading “Night & Day”
A Plan for Us
The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Genesis 2:18 I’ll be honest, I never thought I’d get married. Partially because I just wasn’t raised thinking about marriage and partially because I was the product of a marriage based on very little respect forContinue reading “A Plan for Us”
Walking The Talk
The living, the living—they praise you, as I am doing today; parents tell their children about your faithfulness. Isaiah 38:19 I have a confession to make. I wasn’t an intentional Christian parent. Church was often relegated to the backseat during softball season (which pretty much lasts 9 months). I didn’t make sure my kids were involved in Christian youth groups. WhenContinue reading “Walking The Talk”
He Pursues Us
Then Jesus told them this parable: 4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders6 and goes home. Luke 15:3-5 I’ve always been theContinue reading “He Pursues Us”
Our Elegant World
The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 2:9 Some time ago I set about trying to change myself completely. I told my friendsContinue reading “Our Elegant World”
Beautiful Creations
Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. Genesis 7:2-3 Like millions of otherContinue reading “Beautiful Creations”
Back to Bethel
From the Negev he went from place to place until he came to Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had been earlier 4 and where he had first built an altar. There Abram called on the name of the Lord. Genesis 13:3-4 I heard a great sermon the other day about Genesis 13. I love how God letsContinue reading “Back to Bethel”
Egg-ceptional Gifts
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” Genesis 1:28 My husband and I have four chickens on our little suburban farm. They are ourContinue reading “Egg-ceptional Gifts”
