As I opened my Facebook page this afternoon, the first day of 2011, my eyes fell upon these words in the status of a friend: We're in no hurry, God. We're content to linger in the path sign-posted with your decisions. Who you are and what you've done are all we'll ever want. – Isaiah… Continue reading Content to Linger

“Don’t Leave Messiah in the Manger”
I wrote this song a couple year ago to sing at Christmas time in my church back home. It’s easy I think, even as Christians, to choose to do exactly what the title of this song tells us NOT to do… to leave Jesus in the manger. Christmas comes and we get excited about… Continue reading “Don’t Leave Messiah in the Manger”
December 26th.
(A re-post from a few years ago). Well, officially, in the view of the world, Christmas is over. All this hype leading up to that one day, December 25th. We celebrate Jesus or we celebrate Santa. The stockings that were hung by the chimney with care are now getting put back into boxes for… Continue reading December 26th.

Joyfullyblessed by God’s Provision
So here’s a simple, but awesome story of how God provides in ways that only God can. So back on Thursday, the zipper on my coat broke. While certain times and places you could kind of “make do”, I decided that Buffalo in the winter is not the place or time. Originally the plan (before… Continue reading Joyfullyblessed by God’s Provision

You probably know the story pretty well. Jesus shows up to his friends’ house for a visit. Martha runs off and begins preparing the meal in the kitchen. Mary goes and listens to Jesus. Martha gets mad, and starts complaining to Jesus. Instead of agreeing, Jesus says, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about… Continue reading One Thing
A Bold Prayer…
It seems that a couple times a year, I stumble upon this prayer that I once read in a book. And this morning, as I glanced back through some journals, I read it once again. It’s a bold prayer… A scary prayer… A prayer that maybe we don’t really want to pray, because we… Continue reading A Bold Prayer…
Questions
Questions. They surround us everyday. Some arise over trivial things that really don’t matter much. Others pound at the door of our hearts begging for answers. Questions like “What now?” when one loses his job. Questions like “How long?” when a loved one hears that dreaded “C” word, “Cancer”. Questions like “WHY?!?” when a… Continue reading Questions

Oh that nasty Satan So good at telling lies That bind, constrict, destroy, and kill So many innocent lives He tells you you're not good enough But yet builds you up with pride Insecurity overwhelms your heart Makes you run and hide The chains wrapped tight around your soul Getting tighter and tighter… Continue reading FREE!!!
Please Don’t Underestimate Them!
I read this yesterday as the Facebook status of a high school girl and got her permission to share it here: I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't do drugs. I'm a virgin. I'm in high school, and I will not lose my self-respect just to "fit in". Wow. And the world says there's… Continue reading Please Don’t Underestimate Them!
