I once heard a story about a culture that did not consider an adult to be a true “adult” until they had a child. An internet search can’t find confirmation of this culture, but I find the idea to be interesting. The idea that we don’t really understand responsibility until we are responsible for another […]
Hearts and Souls and the Drive of Meaning
The other day I started playing a rather popular game on facebook. Candy Crush. I hated it. It’s a silly game, and at first it was a little fun. But as the levels got more and more difficult it started to get annoying. I would spend two or three days trying to get past one […]
The Tapestry of the World
The Bible is full of horrible things. Rape, murder, human sacrifice, incest, slavery, genocide, they all abound. Jealousy, backstabbing, bickering, revenge, it’s all there. The Bible is full of terrible people, and it’s a beautiful thing! …….WHAT? Practically every kind of sin and horror you can think of is in this Book. All weaving a story […]

We’ve become a very social culture, or anti social as the case may be. Anyway the other day I was […]

Up in an Olive Tree
I’ve been doing some journaling and reflecting lately. It’s kind of what you do at the end of one year and the beginning of a new one. God’s been very good to us over the last year. Things have been hard, but He’s been faithful. Now as I look forward I wonder what He has […]
Why Keep Going?
I don’t know about you, but there can be days where one does not really feel up to trying. Trying to be good and kind. Trying to be loving and forgiving. Trying to chase dreams and callings. Trying to give of yourself just one more drop of patience. You just sort of feel like throwing […]
