After a good chat with a friend of mine who’s going through a hard time, I started thinking about some of the things I think the Lord might like to say to her, to speak to her heart in the place where she is right now. Oftentimes a word is in season for so many [...]

To Each His Own Road

March 11, 2012 The Good Word
Alberts Pass, Route 339

Sometimes when I’m advising or encouraging someone about a life decision of some sort, I feel the heavy tug to lean on pushing them in the direction that I’ve gone. From a path for getting to the mission field to a parenting method or an I’m-finished-with-school, now-what? I tend to point to the road more [...]

March 8, 2012 The Good Word

Yesterday I shared the first part of a faith-filled experience from earlier this week. {Here’s part one — read it first, pweas.} I’d been convicted that we needed to change the way we were giving, and we had a big check to write, and writing it was going to take faith. When I talked with [...]

March 6, 2012 The Good Word

I had a bit of a laugh this morning, thinking about the old saying that who you really are is who you are when nobody’s looking. And though I wasn’t laughing in the midst of the situation that led me to think about it, I do think there’s some truth to it. Would you like [...]

We’ve been doing a little unpacking around here. Those Eighteen Boxes {you know, the15 boxes, two bikes and a guitar} finally made it here to the Carolinas, eight months to the day after they were closed up and sent off to sit patiently on the docks in Cape Town, waiting their turn to squeeze into [...]

Oscar Wilde once said, “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” Psalm 77 reminds me a lot of those words, and spoke to my heart and my life circumstances the other morning. The Psalmist (Asaph in this case) begins by describing his situation. I’ll break it down [...]

The 27 Million Song

February 29, 2012 In the Name of Love

You might be a fan of Matt Redman. Or, you might not know who I’m talking about. If you’ve heard a proper British accent singing a worship song that you’ve also heard lots of other Christian artists cover, you’re probably listening to Matt Redman. Anywho. Matt Redman & LZ7 collaborated to create an inspiring song [...]
