Raised Up With Purpose

Good morning... After yesterday's post, one subscriber wrote: "How to have faith and belief in God when you can’t KNOW everything is something I struggle with all the time. Your daily words help so much. I especially love your last words this morning and will keep them with me: 'My sinking heart can rise up and trust what my [...]

One Funky Find

Good morning... God can break into our daily lives in very funky ways. I have a hilariously weird story for you. Last week, my senior in high school was playing her important lacrosse game at a faraway school. Fortunately, I thought the game started at 5:00 pm instead of 5:30 pm so I had plenty of time to settle [...]

What Would Julie Do?

Good morning... "What would Julie do?" This is a question many of us have been asking regularly since April 2nd, when our 41 year old friend left earth for heaven. When wondering if a mother/son event should be canceled, we trust Julie would want the celebration to go on. When faced with how to best to share Christ's love [...]

Shedding Our Vending Machine Mentality

Good afternoon... I got home late from a fun Bunko Night with friends, hence the time of this midday post. "I just read a research article today," said a friend at the party. "This study found that 68% of all cancer is random, that means only 32% can be attributed to poor lifestyle choices." Random. Wired to crave control, [...]

More And More Fullness Of Life

Good morning... She read aloud her favorite quote from this week's chapter, "...as people journeying in faith, we have committed ourselves, deep in our hearts, to trust that whatever the future holds, it will always unfold in ways that ultimately, though perhaps not immediately or visibly, lead to more and more fullness of life, for each and for all." [...]

Mixing Faith Into Australian Flour

Good morning... This morning I prayerfully crafted an email to my twenty-two year old son. Following his graduation from GA Tech in May, he feels called to be a missionary to college students in Australia for one year. Beginning this week, he will meet with friends and family members, inviting people onto his "support team." I sensed God laying [...]

God Is Fitting Stone To Stone

Good morning... "The silence of God is the greatest test of our faith," says German theologian Helmut Thielicke. Yet, he continues, "The silence of God and Jesus is not of indifference. It is the silence of higher thoughts. God is fitting stone to stone in His plan for the world and our lives, even though we can see only [...]

We Are Naughty And Nice

Good morning... "Dear Santa," the sign outside the restaurant reads, "what if we are naughty and nice?" We chuckle because we relate. Then we open our Bible to read about the 'naughty and nice' war raging within us. For if I know the law but still can’t keep it, and if the power of sin within me keeps sabotaging [...]

Make Insight Your Priority

Good morning... Once I laid eyes on the Message translation of Proverbs 2, my mind, my heart, and my soul fell deeply in love. Here is the heading above these verses: "Make Insight Your Priority." Tune your ears to the world of Wisdom; set your heart on a life of Understanding. That’s right—if you make Insight your priority, and [...]
