Proverbs 10: Attitudinal Starting Point
Proverbs is one of those books that I seem to find a lot of application in. Obviously, that was the purpose it was written for, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, but Proverbs 10 is home to one of the more well-known verses from this book that I think we all need to keep […]![]()

For When You Want to Feel Like Everyone Else But You Can’t No Matter How Hard You Try
.
You try. You try and you try and you try to fit in. Everywhere you look, something or someone is telling you what you should be doing (so that you fit in). I say “(so that you fit in)” because it’s not overtly said… Especially in the church, Christian, faith-based world. Nobody would ever come right […]

When We Run Away
There’s always something different about the Easter story that strikes me each year. One year it was the deep betrayal of Judas, one of Jesus’ disciples who slammed a dagger to His back. The other was the intense love for Jesus possessed by John, who was the only disciple who didn’t run away and hide. […]

Feeling less than alive
I was sitting in a seminary classroom, taking part in an internship program, and the professor was waxing eloquently about calling. It was all good. She was quoting Frederick Buechner and Howard Thurman, and describing vocation as our deepest joy and what makes us come alive.

The nonbusy family
In her Motherlode post “I Refuse to Be Busy,” K.J. Dell’Antonia mostly bypasses some of the complaints of working mothers. She doesn’t, at least not in this post, discuss the pressures on parents who are pressing their kids toward the best school, the best jobs, etc.

Our Spirit Affects Others for Good or for Bad
We may not think much about it, but our spirit is contagious. The way our spirit affects others can be good or bad. A person of genuine faith in God, for example, can positively affect the faith of others. A person with a spirit of fear, on the other hand, can negatively impact the faith of others. An example of … Continue Reading →

Here’s a Good Reason To Go To Church
When you see a line of people waiting for the church doors to open, that’s a good sign. That’s what I saw recently at a church in southern Guatemala, almost to the El Salvador border, in a little town called Chiquimulilla.
And they weren’t in line just on Sunday for the worship services. They were there Monday through Saturday, too. They were coming for the water.
