It was called the “year of transition” in many Christians circles, and 2011 has proven to be that for me. Looking back, I marvel at what God has done and continues to do as I seek to know Him more. The changes started over the winter at a Bible study where the leader played Graham [...]

On being a child
I’m watching my grandson today as Monday was a holiday and am enjoying some quiet time while he takes a nap. I decided to take one too as I am fighting a headache but my mind’s anything but tired. That’s one of the things I’ve been talking to God about, the busyness of my thoughts, [...]

The God of Surprises
It’s Christmas night, and the festivities are winding down. Actually the rest of the family is downstairs watching Kung Fu Panda but I came upstairs during a break. Every once in a blue moon I’ll be in the mood to watch something, but for the most part am not so interested in movies anymore. It [...]

Perfecting the art of bouncing back
I can’t believe it’s been ten days since I posted anything! The month is flying, as Decembers usually do, full of get togethers and Christmas parties and such. I’m already halfway through my break from school and haven’t even started the book I wanted to have finished by now! I did manage bake cookies today, [...]

The world has yet to see…
D.L. Moody said, “The world has yet to see what God can do with and for and through and in and by the man who is fully and wholly consecrated to Him. I will try my utmost to be that man.” I’ve been thinking about that quote lately. It’s a lot like a challenge that’s [...]

Motion sickness
The gentleman who led prayer meeting this morning cracked a funny about having motion sickness, i.e., he’s tired of going through the motions! Would that all churches/Christians were infected with motion sickness! I’ve actually been sick for a while and finding my cure outside the church. Hard to infect others, though. Talking about what I’ve [...]

Food’s a funny thing
I must confess that I’m having a bit of trouble readjusting to eating again. You see, I don’t like how tired it’s making me. Seriously. And I’ve got some hormone thing going on or something, I don’t know what, but I feel all out of whack! I realize, of course, that it’s quite possible the [...]

Empowered
Last week I attended the Empowered conference at Global Awakening. Formerly known as a School of Healing and Impartation, the conference was run much like others I’ve attended, with sessions running from 9 in the morning until 9 at night (although you usually don’t get out of there until 11:00!). Kevin was originally planning to [...]
