- Attic Fan Moments
- 1 June 2009
- Sometimes we get very set in our ways and we think that
we're always right. Ok -- I know that I'm always right and
I'm going to share my thoughts on this because I know I'm
never wrong . . . or right? I'll let you decide that
one. Read more >>
- This Little Light of Mine
- 17 July 2009
- "This little light of mine . . . I'm gonna let it shine" I
sang, anxiously peeking out from behind the door and
teacher's leg. I was about four or five years old at the
time and I was learning about Jesus, God, and putting my
offering in the collection plate. Read more >>
- I did not choose how my marriage ended.
- 14 March 2009
- I did not choose how my marriage ended. I played a large
part in where it ended up, but my vow to God was one of the
hardest things to come to terms with when it fell apart. I
even boldly proclaimed that "my God is big enough to restore
it" but I realize now that God had a much bigger and better
plan. God was not the focus of my marriage in the past and
I now know how those dismal statistics on failing marriages
can hold true. Each and every day people "fall in love"
and at some point they are "falling out of it". How can
that be? Read more >>
- Everyday Miracles
- 7 September 2007
- The multitudes gathered and were fed from a minuscule
portion of bread and fish . . . the blind are restored of
sight . . . and the dead are brought back to life. These
were just some of the fantastic miracles that were
documented in the Bible and in many cases performed by Jesus
Christ. Even though he has not been among us physically
for great number of years, is there any reason to not
believe that miracles still don't happen? With one
flourish of a pen, an extraordinary event is labeled as a
coincidence, or just plain luck. Read more >>
- Bob
- 26 July 2007
- Bob stared at the last drops of coffee as they pooled in the
bottom of his empty mug. Behind him the door had just shut
with his life-long friend Travis heading out for another
day. Bob and Travis had been inseparable over the years.
The Monday morning coffee break at the shop had became a
weekly tradition. They had seen each other through the
best and worst of many times together and as Bob reminisced
over the last few years his heart began to ache . . . "When
am I ever going to be strong enough to talk to Travis about
my faith?" Bob asked himself. Read more >>
- Reflecting Pools of Light
- 12 August 2009
- The water glistens and shimmers in the hot afternoon sun.
The pool, an oasis in the midst of the little space that we
call our backyard. It's by no means fancy, it's just an
above ground pool with a modest deck and not too many
frills, but it's been a focal point for entertainment during
the summer months. It's been a long standing tradition for
my family, my parents buying their first pool back when I
was just a kindergartner (33 years ago). I remember my
parents had a little metal stock tank that was a pre-cursor
to the real pool they would purchase and put up
themselves. I grew up around pools, thus avoiding the
hassles of vacations or going to a lake for aquatic
enjoyment. Later I continued that heritage with plunking a
pool into our own family's backyard . . . eliminating a
little yard work and a very pesky willow tree that attempted
to strangle me while mowing. Read more >>
