This is a poem I wrote for an essay contest recently.  It had to tell the “true story”  behind the picture below.  I opted to do a poem instead of the usual “essay” style.  So we’ll see what happens.  But I wanted to share it with you anyway.

Life is strange. And, yes, that is how I’m beginning my blog post.

“All within us cries for life and permanence, and everything around us reminds us of mortality and change” A.W. Tozer
Last night, my dad had my family come together for a time just to re-count God’s blessings in 2009, and to go over some [...]

Dear God,
It was great to talk to you the other day, about that stuff that was confusing me. I wish you were that clear all the time…and I didn’t have to just sit around and wait for you to say something for so long. I mean, there are so many other things I could be [...]

I was inspired to write this post by a post someone else wrote a while ago about what inspires them, and what points their eyes to God and the gospel.
So often we can get distracted by day-to-day tasks, that we overlook what’s most important. I think it’s good to know what things have the [...]

Are You Trustworthy?
Also, be trustworthy…and make an effort to really know your brother/sister. (Who would tell someone their secret dreams if they knew it would be used against them somehow?) When a young man seeks to win a woman’s heart, he studies her – he becomes her “student” in a way (and vice [...]

Christa Taylor from the Empowered Traditionalist blog, and the Christa-Taylor modest clothing store asked me to do a post for the ET blog last week about being a sister.  I am going to let you read the un-edited version here…and then if you want to, you can check out her blog and see how it [...]

Isaiah 58:6-12
“Is not this the fast that I choose:
to loose the bonds of wickedness,
to undo the straps of the yoke,
to let the oppressed go free,
and to break every yoke?
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover him,
and not to hide [...]

I know I’ve talked bunches and bunches about being content. In fact, looking back over my previous posts, it seems to be the main thing I write about – from differing angles each time, of course. (*wink*) That is mainly because I write here, not because I’ve reached some soaring heights of maturity (far [...]

You know those moments. YOU know…THOSE ones.
The times when you feel like God is preparing you for something…and there’s a yearning in your soul for whatever that is, even though you aren’t exactly sure what “that” is…and even though the prospect is somewhat scary?
Well…maybe it’s just me. But I’ve had one of those [...]

Part One: 1 Timothy 4:12 - Speech

1 Timothy 4:12 “Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.”

“Give me a deeper trust, that I may lose myself to [...]
