Blessings Beyond Measure
As I sit here and watch our wedding video again, I think of all the amazing things that have happened in the last several years and I am overwhelmed and, no shocker, tears have been running down my face. Our Almighty Heavenly Father is keeping His promises in ways, and to depths, not that long…

Musings
This week there isn’t really a theme for my blog. As the title states, it’s more like musings. My last few weeks boiled down into living a life with God, as opposed to all the years I professed it only, but didn’t really live it. Let’s skip back a few weeks. Lynn and were invited…

Fidelity and Forgiveness
I hope by giving full credit and recognition it is permissible to reproduce in full the following Daily Devotion from Chuck Swindoll here in my blog. I get these devotionals in my email from Insight for Living Ministries (www.Insight.org). I have an abiding respect for Pastor Swindoll and this one hit a critical target for…

Dying – to myself
I have been conflicted this week about what to write. More accurately, or honestly, I haven’t felt a huge pull to a specific topic this week. I often have more things that God prompts me to write than I can keep track of. This week I think He was saving His prompting until after church…

Men versus males
Recently our church’s men’s committee launched a new opportunity for men called “The Forge.” We meet once a week at 6am and are done by 7:05. We are working through John Eldredge’s “Wild At Heart” video series about true manhood. We completed Day One of the series and I am compelled right up front to…

The Broken-hearted
In Lynn’s and my marriage, I am not the one who was betrayed. I am not the one who was crushed and shattered. I am not the one that deals with emotional “noise” that is a constant background to her day. No, I am the betrayer. I am the one who crushed and shattered my …

Focus
This week’s blog took a really wide and circuitous route before coming around to this topic. Last night’s 7 Pillars group also helped me settle into it. Thank you, Gentlemen. The lesson has one of my all time favorite (true) stories in it (7 Pillars of Freedom, Pillar 3, Lesson 1, pg. 80. See Book…

Purity
As I was talking with my accountability group a couple weeks ago I noticed how often we used the term “purity.” In our between meeting texts and phone calls I noticed myself asking about their purity, meaning specifically, are they acting out. The Holy Spirit suggested that I may be minimizing a very important aspect…

Christmas
Lyrics – “How Many Kings? by Downhere Follow the Star to a place unexpected,would you believe after all we’ve projected,a child in a manger?Lowly and small, the weakest of all, unlikeliest hero,wrapped in His mother’s shawl, just a child.Is this who we’ve waited for? ‘Cause how many kings stepped down from their thrones?How many lords…

SEX: Need, Want or Gift? Part II
This is Part II of last week’s blog. You may want to catch up with that blog first. I admitted last week that I am going to ruffle some feathers with this blog. I don’t do so for the sake of ruffling. But it’s usually God’s ruffling that initiates change, so, I’m ruffling. I submit…

SEX: Need, Want or Gift? Part I
Content Warning: At the very least I am going to get skeptical “looks” and quite possibly ruffle a few feathers with this blog. I will remind you that I post these as a chronicle of Lynn’s and my Journey and I do not hold the position that what I write is absolute Truth, unless it’s…
