Little Reminder
Today I woke up to this song on the alarm. I think I heard the lyrics for the first time this morning. He takes care of his family, he takes care of his work, And... June 27, 2008
Worship in Complete Freedom
"You sit here in comfortable chairs. You stand up and sing praises. You're free to worship God whenever you want." This was the beginning of a noteworthy moment in the middle of an interview of... May 22, 2008
Looking for a Rabbi
Saw Ed Dobson at The Sparrows today. Asked him about his new position at Cornerstone University. Told him I was going through a bit of a mid-life crisis, and was spiritually dry and that I... November 24, 2005
Empty and Aching But I Don't Know Why
The other day I had a conversation with a guy around the same place in life who is a lot different than me, but also a lot the same. He and I are different because... September 29, 2005
Roots
There's a small voice inside me that speaks. You know the old picture of an angel sitting on your shoulder whispering advice into your ear? That's kind of what I'm describing, but not so blatant.... July 12, 2005
Spiritual Meets Ordinary
This is an ongoing question in my mind. What does it mean to be spiritual? Is it a separate thing from every day life, or is it fully integrated and ingrained into the ordinary life?... January 18, 2005
From the Mouths of Babes
As I was tucking my 4-year old daughter in to bed last night, we were going through our normal routine of reading a book, turning out the light, singing, and praying. When we pray, I... January 11, 2005
House in Order
I don't pray much. I don't read the Bible much. About the only times I pray are before meals, with my kids before bed, and every now and then when something comes to mind. It... December 22, 2004
International Web Ministry?
This is interesting. I received a comment on my site from someone named David Omar Isaac from Sierra Leone. When I first started reading it, I thought it was spam. But the more I read... November 12, 2004
Knowledge and Responsibility
Somewhere along the line I learned that the more I know, the more I will be held responsible for. The way I interpret this is that as I learn in life what is true, noble... November 01, 2004
Rest Your Weary Head
I was putting my 1 year old son down for a nap. He was tired and I knew it. So I picked him up and held him as I often do in my arms with... September 07, 2004
Bruises and Scratches
Bless God for spiritual highs. Going on a "mission" trip is usually stimulating. It has a way of making me feel like I'm more spiritually connected, or something. I don't like to use cliches, but... August 17, 2004
Spiritual Preparation
Getting ready for an international trip is a lot of work. Getting ready for an international mission trip is even more work. Seems like doing it though is good for the soul. My wife and... July 26, 2004
Spirits In A Material World, II
NOTE: I've been thinking a lot about this subject lately. I don't think I was done thinking about it in my last post (Spirits in a Material World). I've also had the chance to discuss... July 18, 2004
Spirits In A Material World
The longer I live the more I regognize the fact that we are spirits stuck inside a physical realm. We are not native in our bodies. Rather, we are forced to communicate with our souls--and... July 08, 2004
How Can God Use Me?
Lately, I've felt burned out, lonely, and distant from God. There are a lot of things that seem to be piling up and bringing me down. Life stuff. Just the stuff that can add up... June 01, 2004
God Hears
I take refuge in the fact that God hears my prayer. I pray for many things, anywhere, anytime. I pray when life is happening--during the here and now. I pray short, quick prayers mostly. Therefore... April 13, 2004
Closer
I was talking to someone after church last sunday (Easter) and was commenting on how I felt more aware and generally closer to the events surrounding passion week this year. I have thought about it... March 31, 2004
Do the Things I Don't Want to Do
Deep down I know what's right. I know what I think. I have opinions and feelings about things that drive who I really am. These things have been formed by countless experiences, sermons, and other... August 25, 2003
Our "Interface" to God
I was driving to work today and had this thought that might get me in trouble, but I'm going to post it here anyway. I'm posting it on the possibility that someone out there knows... July 18, 2003
Be Still My Soul
Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act. Don't worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes. Psalm 37:7... June 25, 2003
Lexio Divina
A couple weeks ago I was introduced to a type of meditation and study of the Word when I attended a Bible study sort of accidentally at church. The woman in charge walked us through... May 29, 2003
Spiritual Food
Since I've been trying to introduce raw vegetables and fruit into my diet on a regular basis (see pH balance of the Body), my health has improved. And, I feel more confident about my health... February 13, 2003
