Have you learned the ultimate act of reverence

Venting?

Have you learned to let off a little steam before you blow up?

We need to vent our anger appropriately with a Christian friend before we lose control and the whole things blows up on us and those around us.

Bombarded by Self

So what's the big problem with all this self stuff?

When we put self in the middle of everything, then everything becomes about I, me, my, and mine, and not about God and we mess up our self-absorbed lives.

Final Destinations

How do you deal with such losses?

The plane crash in Lexington, Kentucky brought out all sorts of emotions in the hearts of people and reminds us how death touches us all and our need for the promises of Jesus.

Should this actually be one of our life goals?

God is really in control, and is at our side, and in control of our agenda if we will loosen up and let him lead us.

God is So Big!

How big is God in your daily world?

God is so big that he is greater than heart and can help us overcome the daily grind in all its mundane sameness.

No Jobs in Heaven?

You going to join me at the heavenly beach hut?

The Talking Keypad

When is the last time you got a laugh out of a keypad?

Controlling Change or Changing Control

What do you do when you can't control your life?

The world is changing and we lose control, but the real issue isn't controlling as it is yielding to the one in control.

Don't Let the Wrapper Fool You!

Do you think most things are what they appear to be on the surface?

So many things appear nice and are harmful while many look awful and prove to be beneficial; we mustn't make snap judgments because God is at work in all of it.

The Right Light

Have you found the right time and the right light?

The right time and the right light are necessary for us to find the right answers.

It's not an Odd Thing; It's a God Thing

Are the things going on in your life just random or are they God things?

Journaling allows us to see God's work, his fingerprints, his involvement in our lives.

Mother

How can you truly describe her with mere words?

Mothers are the one constant in our continually changing lives.

Rain Reminds Me of My Mother

Do you remember anyone when it rains?

Rain leaves this grown daughter to think about her mother and all that her mother means to her.

Run the Race

Are you running to win the victory?

Sin entangles and causes us to stumble and fall rather than running victoriously, whether the sin is our own or the sin of others against us.

Sharing Burdens

Do you know them enough to help?

So often we don't know each well enough to even know the burdens we all carry, but we must step in and help by listening more carefully to those around us.

Jury Duty

When can a conviction lead to an acquittal?

Give and It Will Be Given to You

So what are you really offering to the Lord for His service?

While we are to give a tithe, the tithe is just a reminder to us that everything we have belongs to God.

Battery Life and Shining Lights

What does it take to keep your battery charged?

Keeping us going in ministry, keeping our lights shining, requires us to spend time alone with God.

Embellishment Opportunities

Have you felt the clean up of the Master's brush?

A mom's work at writing Scripture on her daughter's wall leads to a great opportnity to learn about God's grace.
