Meaningless, Meaningless

I will be honest, for the last few weeks I have been dealing with feelings of discontentment. There are many things I wish were different in my life. Because nothing has turned out as I planned. See, I will be 28 years old this year. Two years away from 30, when a woman’s fertility startsContinue reading “Meaningless, Meaningless”

Does Sin Reign?

I’m reading the book of Romans right now. I just recently finished chapter 6, about being dead to sin and alive in Christ. Can I just say, sin is serious. I understand we know this. But I mean, Jesus gave HIS LIFE to free us from it. Not only that, but the suffering Jesus wentContinue reading “Does Sin Reign?”

Snakes and Doves

I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. Matthew 10:16 I love this verse. I love it for many, many reasons. It is actually one of my favorites, truth be told. I love it for the sheep, wolves, snakes, and doves. When theContinue reading “Snakes and Doves”

Dust and Clay

Do you know what clay is? It is a stiff, sticky fine-grained earth. It can be molded when wet, and dried and heated to make bricks, pottery, and ceramics. Clay derives from the decomposition of rocks and soil. Essentially, clay is dust. Now, are you a fan of action movies? I am. I mean, really,Continue reading “Dust and Clay”

Dogs and Pigs

Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces. Matthew 7:6 Who are the dogs? Who are the pigs? It’s those who are set in their ways.Those who pay no mind to whatContinue reading “Dogs and Pigs”

Psalm 90

Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations. Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. You turn people back to dust, saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.” A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just goneContinue reading “Psalm 90”

Ananias and Saul

I’m sitting here reading through the New Testament. I read and reflect on one chapter a day. Right now I’m in Acts, and I just recently finished reading chapter nine, about Saul’s conversion. Do you know what I thought of reading about Ananias and Saul? Maybe it’s because Christmas is just around the corner, butContinue reading “Ananias and Saul”

Joy at Christmas

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to their own town to register. So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee toContinue reading “Joy at Christmas”

Like a Lion

Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8 Do you know how lions hunt? They stalk and wait. They are very patient, and smart creatures. A lot of their prey are quick on their feet. Plus, they stay in groups. A lionContinue reading “Like a Lion”

Actions Show Truth

A few weeks ago, when I was out with my father, we saw something. On our drive home, we saw this man walking along the road. Why did he stand out to us? Because he was walking with a large 12 foot cross. I’ve heard of this man before. He carries the cross across allContinue reading “Actions Show Truth”
