Have you ever wished for a redo button? Have you ever had a day that started off so completely on the wrong foot that you wish you could just push a button and start over? You woke up tired because you didn’t get enough sleep the night before, or the night before that, or theContinue reading “Flashback Friday – The Gospel is My Redo Button”

Flashback Friday – How Does Your Garden Grow?
Sin always starts small and seemingly harmless.
Growing Through Suffering
I’m not sure they’re going to make it. Brittle. Barren. Lifeless. These are all words that describe my mums this spring. Confession time: I’m a mum-killer. I have bought several containers of mums each year with dazzling aspirations of planting them and having them return the next fall in vibrant shades of scarlet, goldenrod, andContinue reading “Growing Through Suffering”
Flashback Friday – Rescue from Rebellion: My Story of Redemption
A salvation story doesn’t have to be R-rated to be powerful. We may not all be saved from a life of crime, drugs, or persecuting Christians (like the apostle Paul). Sometimes it is what God protected us from doing that testifies to his glory and grace. I grew up as an only child in aContinue reading “Flashback Friday – Rescue from Rebellion: My Story of Redemption”

The big difference between this year and times prior was that we had never had to till the ground ourselves! But how hard could itContinue reading “Flashback Friday – Tilling the Garden of Your Marriage”
Flashback Friday – The Devoted Things
Like Gollum and his ring, we try to hold on to things that are supposed to be devoted to destruction as if they were treasures. We foolishly think we can manage them, or compartmentalize them, or even use them for good, but in the end they will control us.
Renounce Your Wish, Gain Your Soul
What would you give up in order to gain your life? In the movie Wonder Woman 1984, Diana (aka Wonder Woman) makes a wish on an ancient artifact, the Dreamstone, which is said to grant the holder whatever they desire. Diana’s wish is to have her old flame, Steve, brought back to her from theContinue reading “Renounce Your Wish, Gain Your Soul”
He Who Began a Good Work
When God created humanity, he made a masterpiece. He sculpted a male body from fine particles of the earth. He fashioned woman’s body from the very substance of man. He gave them interwoven muscles, bones, and sinews to work the ground; a beautiful physique that would inspire poets, painters, and sculptors for ages to come;Continue reading “He Who Began a Good Work”
