If you would’ve looked at my life over the last ten years or so, you would have said that “forgiveness” was one of the major areas in my life that I needed to work on. No need to go into specifics, but let’s just say I had many moments of hurt (as we all do). … Continue reading »

Let’s Talk the “F” Word – Part One
I kinda knew this post was gonna be heavy when I woke up at 4:30 in the morning feeling the need to write it. Here’s my problem: I made the mistake of praying before I went to bed last night. I told the Lord that I was under the impression he didn’t want me writing … Continue reading »
“Verb”age!
I love how God works! I would scream that, but I’m sitting in Starbucks and I might freak out the customers – so I’ll just shout it this post. “I love how God works!” I sat down this morning to answer e-mails and messages in my Facebook inbox. Collision has been out a few weeks now … Continue reading »
In The Mist
I originally wrote the post below on July 27, 2009 – right after the loss of two children we’d been trying to adopt for close to two years. I’m so grateful that I wrote this post in a horrible time of pain because I can look back now and see that we made it through … Continue reading »

Re-Post: Can You Hear HIM now?

Come on now, if you ever went to Sunday School you colored a page or two that showed Samuel mistakenly running to Eli when it was actually the Lord who had called out to him. I’ve personally probably heard or read it twenty-five times or more. About a … Continue reading »
Oh My, It’s The “P” Word
Patience. The word is almost as bad as the f-word: Forgiveness. You know the old saying, right? Whatever you do, don’t pray for patience ! The common belief is that if you pray for patience then you’ll basically be forced to go through hell and back to get it. I think we picture God sitting … Continue reading »
Ever Feel Like This . . .?
. . . like you’ve got a target attached to your body at all times and no matter how hard you try to use your escape skills, you keep getting bombarded. Have you seen the commercial where they show two versions of a man playing paint ball? In one scenario labeled “too light” the balls … Continue reading »
This Might Hurt a Little
I’ve never been one to like nature shows. It’s not that I don’t like animals, because I do. What I don’t like is seeing them suffer and on every nature show they have to have a segment where an animal dies or gets hurt. I hate that – well, that and when they show the … Continue reading »
