I’m sure when Jonah was first thrown overboard and swallowed up by a giant fish he was relieved and scared all at [...]
Reaching out to someone I don’t know
Posted: November 7, 2008 in Faith, Focus, Intercessory Prayer, Oswald Chambers, Prayer, Spiritual Gifts, Spiritual Warfare, Trials and TestingIntercessory prayer is a wonderful way to serve others. Have you ever spent time praying for another person without them knowing about it? If you have then you know the joy that is associated with the time spent praying for them. You know of the burden that is carried for someone else… the heavy heart. You [...]
Blocking out the noise in silence…

Catalyst… It’s still bugging me! Catalyst… I can either run to the Truth and embrace it… or I can run from it. From all indications there is no running from it.

It’s all you can’t leave behind. (U2, “Walk On” Bono). I love the opening to the song “Walk On” by U2. I was listening to it today while burning up some of that cheap fuel I bought last Saturday!! The words just captivate my heart… it’s a captivity [...]

Have you ever tried to let something go that was totally tormenting your every thought? Monday night this week I went to bed relatively early (before Greta van Susteran was done talking about Tood Palin). But I was up at 12:55 AM not to return to [...]
I remember hearing ”Storm” by Lifehouse in the Fall of 2007 when I got the CD. I identified with the song so much. I got to thinking about “Storm” over the weekend while at my daughter’s ballet performance. I have often hoped to see her choreograph a dance to this song and see her perform it. I think many [...]
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night. I’m not sure all these people understand. It’s not like years ago, The fear of getting caught, Of recklessness and water. They cannot see me naked. These things, they go away, Replaced by everyday. I have always liked the song “Nightswimming” by R.E.M. I have not ever known what it [...]
To swim or not to swim.
Posted: May 15, 2008 in Faith, Family, Spiritual Growth, Spiritual Warfare, SwimmingI told a friend the other day that I feel like I can quote Disney as good if not better than the Bible. A situation has come into being this week that is hard for me to deal with. Finding Nemo came to mind as I was thinking about my situation. Not only that but [...]
I’m so very tired tonight. I’m literally worn out. I got up this morning not feeling good and as the day has continued… my emotions are now running a bit thin. Too many details as to why. I was driving to a friends house to pick up something and just drove about 4-5 miles past my [...]
