• Freedom

  

  I speak and write a lot about freedom. I named our blog site after an aspect of freedom – we were created to be free. Dictionary.com has seventeen definitions for the word freedom and they’re all accurate from where I sit, although maybe a bit short-sighted. There was no mention of truth and its setting…

• Rock Bottom

  

  This morning, the morning show on the local radio station decided to have listeners – those brave enough – call in and share their “rock bottom” story and the resulting work that God has done in their lives.  It struck me how insightful that was when so often morning shows on the radio are mostly…

• Waiting … patiently?

  

  It’s been a few weeks since I posted.  The roller coaster has kept me “thought-less.”  There is so much going on and so much where there is no movement I haven’t made the time to sit and reflect on who God is; who is in charge of our lives and what that means for the…

• Holiness and Trust

  

  I have had trouble this week finding a topic on which to write. Many good things happened this week, good interactions with Lynn, my groups and my family.  But nothing was shouting at me to be written about.  In part it’s more ‘things’ going on in my life; more ‘things’ needing attention; more ‘things’ –…

• 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 …

• Rebuilder or Destroyer?

  

  Into our lives come all kinds of bits of information.  It comes from sources both expected and unexpected.  Sometimes it’s trite and trivial but sometimes there comes a person or a movie or a book or something that absolutely alters the way you see … life.  Yes.  It can be that affective. I want to…

• “But YOU, Sovereign LORD …”

  Some days God speaks to my heart in quiet moments with gentle Scriptures, subtly touching my heart until I hear.  And other times His Word seems to roll over me, invoking my past, present and future like a clap of thunder making my heart quake but sit up and take notice. The last couple of…

• The Truth will set you Free

  

  Truth. When Jesus said the truth will set you free I’ve always thought that was in the context of the Gospel message; about hearing the Good News about Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection and the accompanying salvation.  I believe now that He intended a much bigger meaning. Absolutely that is what He meant but like…
