I live in a small community in the Colorado Rockies. I was dumbfounded this week by the number of people who were woebegone over the U.S. mid-term elections. Defined, woebegone is feeling, showing, or expressing deep sorrow, or grief. Some of their predictions of what the future is going to hold were grim. Skyrocketing prices. … Continue reading Woebegone
First of all, what a great eye, catching title to a post! Sometimes you just read something that makes you do a double take. I was reading Jeremiah 13:1-11 last night and came across this. God told me, “Go and buy yourself some linen shorts. Put them on and keep them on. Don’t even take … Continue reading Dirty underwear
Sometimes you just need to let go and drop some things that are preventing your growth in Jesus. You need to leave them in the dust. Defined, it means to easily defeat, to go far ahead, and to abandon or leave behind. Sometimes people just feel the need to sling their garbage onto you. We … Continue reading Leave it in the dust
God's timing is always impeccable. Defined it means having no flaws; perfect. This is my testimony on a recent adventure with God's timing. Three weeks ago, I had to drive to a town 35 miles away. On my return trip, the little engine light started flashing, then stopped. I googled it when I got home … Continue reading Impeccable Timing
I read something the other day that blew my mind and I knew it had to be shared. One of the interesting things about Noah's ark was the fact that it had only one door. Dr. W. A. Criswell explains, “There was not a door above for the birds to come in, not a little … Continue reading One Door
I've been reading a lot in Matthew 5, the Beatitudes. Defined they are supreme blessedness or happiness. The Beatitudes are a series of blessings pronounced by Jesus during the Sermon on the Mount. They describe the qualities and attitudes valued in the Kingdom of Heaven, emphasizing grace and spiritual fulfillment rather than material wealth or … Continue reading Attitude
This coming Friday I will be in court as an expert witness in a case. I have done this in the past and it is never pleasant, no matter how prepared I am. It just puts you on edge. But I'll be okay. I just finished reading Bob Goff's book Love Does and was thrilled … Continue reading Live Palms Up
Full confession...I am a dumpster diver. We have a thrift shop in town that has a special dumpster that they put their discards in. I, and others, have sorted through it to find treasures. I have found some amazing vests, blazers etc. that are almost like brand new to spruce up my wardrobe. And free … Continue reading Lent 2026 #4 Dumpster Diving
As I mentioned in last week's post, I am fasting from offense this year for Lent. I listen to a podcast on my way to work, and Thursday the pastor brought up Socrates and his wife. Born into the heart of Athens, Greece, around 470 BCE, he emerged as a foundational figure in Western philosophy. … Continue reading Lent 2026 #2
I had a dream Tuesday night. I was walking on a cobblestone road, on campus, at dusk. I looked toward the setting sun, then heard three voices singing behind me. I turned to look and it was three college women, riding bikes while harmonizing their song. They were singing, “My Savior's Sword” One started, the … Continue reading Sword
