Truth From the beginning humans have wrestled with truth. What is true? How do we know it’s true? Why is it true? Is it true for everyone? Is it true for just me? In the garden, Eve is standing at the tree (right beside Adam, look it up). The snake questions the truth of God’s commands. Did […]
It’s time to SLOW DOWN
Give me a break! This week, I’m tired. I worked Friday night (a normal day off), I worked a longer than normal Sunday, and I had an extra long day on Monday. Concurrently, I’m also pushing myself on some personal projects which keep me up late most nights. I need to slow down. I need a break. […]
BOLD Prayer | Substantially Better
BOLD Business Over the years Elon Musk founded PayPal, Tesla Motors, SpaceX, Zip2 and X.com. He’s also the chairman of SolarCity and co-chairman of OpenAI. He’s a very busy and very successful man (worth over $13 Billion). So what drives him? According to Musk himself, it’s this: “I didn’t go into the rocket business, the car […]
(don’t) Dream a Little Dream
Dream a Little Dream Dream big dreams. Small dreams have no magic. -Dottie Boreyko Abraham is 99 years old, and God just renewed His promise of a son through Abraham’s 89 year old wife. Abraham is honored, but he does something I might do. Laugh. I too would laugh at the absurdity of a 99 […]
Blowing up in the Back Seat
Don’t Worry… Years ago – Kia and I were on our way home from a vacation. We were returning from Colorado with friends (about a 10 hour drive). The trip had been great. Kia and I had connected deeper in our marriage. We bonded with our friends. The destination was beautiful. It was an easy, fun trip. However, I was […]
Word of the Year | Something from Nothing
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. -Genesis 1:1-3 Something from Nothing It’s hard for us […]
Will Work for…Dignity.
Love and Hate I have this relationship. It’s one of those relationships they describe as love/hate. Sometimes I’m absolutely in complete and total love with her. Other times I can’t stand the thought of her – the literal thought of her makes me sick. There are times, though, when I’ve been with her, and I […]
The Mountain Before Provision.
I’m currently heading to, in or on my way back from Bolivia. The internet access (along with my time) is a little more sketchy there than here in the States. So I’m re-posting a few of mine and your favorite posts from the last year or so. PS – There is a new ending to […]
ATTACK fear
Why ATTACK? A few months ago, I re-read the story of Noah and the Ark. It’s such a familiar story, most people could pretty accurately recite the story at a moment’s notice. Especially now that Noah has been made into a major motion picture, we know the basics. Noah is chosen because of his righteousness […]
Waiting for morning.
What a difference one page makes. The books of Genesis and Exodus are back to back in the Bible. Though they are right next to each other, the end of Genesis could be no different than the beginning of Exodus. Genesis ends with the story of Joseph moving his entire family to Egypt after he […]
