Wooo hoo!!! I actually remembered my God-Sighting Saturday post this week!!! 🙂 While there are countless places I saw God this week, I wanted to focus on a couple ways I saw Him in/through His Word this week. 1. I'm thoroughly enjoying the current Short Course at First Trinity focusing on the I AM statements… Continue reading God-Sighting Saturday – I SPY HIM IN HIS WORD

Persecution of A Different Kind
Our prison simulation for the high school students ended over 65 hours ago... yet my mind and heart continue to process that experience. I wasn't even one of the prisoners, but it had a great impact on me. The struggle I'm having is in asking myself the question: "HOW is this going to impact me?" … Continue reading Persecution of A Different Kind
Locked Up – Follow Up
Wow! That's the word that first comes to mind when I think about the LOCKED UP simulation for high school students at First Trinity yesterday. For 12 hours, eight students from First Trinity and Grace-Niagara Falls gave up their identities and their rights to get a little taste of what it's like to live in… Continue reading Locked Up – Follow Up
My Hope, My Comfort, My Life
Abba Father Heavenly King Creator Healer Sustainer Savior The names for God are as endless as His power, His love, and His grace. Kind of by accident earlier this week (though I'm starting to believe not an accident at all!) I stumbled upon the idea of focusing on the various names of God during my… Continue reading My Hope, My Comfort, My Life
When You go to Bed Tonight…
I just finished eating dinner. It was warm. It included aspects from various food groups. There were leftovers (which I’ll enjoy tomorrow for lunch too). I will go to bed content, in a warm bed. Yet. every night, including tonight, more than a billion people will go to bed hungry. That’s 1 in 6… Continue reading When You go to Bed Tonight…
BLESSED!!!
No words of my own right now, but a few from others I’d like to share. First, this paraphrase of Matthew 5:3-5: You’re blessed when you are out of options, and all you can do is lean on God. Because when you realize your need for God, it is only then that you… Continue reading BLESSED!!!
Truly a Beautiful Sight!
Here is a glimpse into the beautiful sight I witnessed while I worshipped this weekend: Two middle school students working together to make sure we had light on the candles in the front of the Church to help us focus on THE Light, Jesus. Three high school student singing, playing, leading the congregation in… Continue reading Truly a Beautiful Sight!
Content to Linger
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”
One Thing
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
