Driving home from church on Sunday, I was by myself and I fell into one of those moods that hits me, where I really need God to make himself present or maybe give me more of a sense of His Presence, physically. I understand that He is very visible in the created things and that…
This is what it feels like EVERY SINGLE TIME, even after years of running. It’s a mind trick because outside running doesn’t feel nearly as hopeless. At least the landscape changes. I blame my best friend for putting me in this inescapable trap. She got me to agree to run a half marathon 5 years…
I wrote this back on Aug 11 and posted to Facebook. I still feel it’s true and I still don’t know what I’m doing, LOL: I can’t construct a fail safe system to protect my heart. I can try. I can make every effort to shield it and be the most vigilant gatekeeper ever, but…
If you’re here long enough, you’ll get handed all kinds of things. Some of those things were alive, valid, and relevant when you received them, but now they’re dead. Whatever they were, they no longer are. Therefore, holding onto them past their expiration date is a waste of life. Maybe your open hand held something …
He stays with me and He refuses to leave. I can’t think of any other who would remain and be present without a gap or space. I mean, He is completely immersed in me. No one else can do that because when I am not kind, thoughtful, selfless, sacrificial, patient, gracious, loving and the…
For the last year and half or so, I’ve written about what I know and what I’ve learned and what I’m still learning about God and about Jesus. I’ve only had a blog for that period of time, but I became a Christian a long time before that, and I guess, when I first…
Science is always in discovery mode, and humanity needs that because science is knowledge. The only issue is that humans are limited in their capability to capture knowledge in every arena of science. So, the gaps are filled with theory until we obtain the necessary information. Science, then is never completely informed, definitive and authoritative…
I had no idea who Lao Tzu is. I had to look him up on Wikipedia. He’s a philosopher of Taoism. I didn’t now what Taoism is, so I had to look that up. I don’t have the energy to try to understand it. Basically, it doesn’t really matter. The saying is right on. Not…
Dark gets to have its days. Sometimes it overwhelms and overtakes life. It may succeed for awhile, but it won’t always dominate. If it were the ultimate victor, then I would rather go now. It will not win. Even in the deepest dark, it won’t obliterate light. When we’re navigating through the blackest moments, the…
“Thy will be done…” Matthew 6:10 I don’t think I have ever said this out loud or in my heart to Him and felt 100% resigned every time I said it. Maybe you never do. Maybe the beauty of saying this is, despite wanting something else, you are willing to lay it down and submit…
