This is kind of back-tracking a bit, but blogging about this week's "Jesus Interruption" story made me think back to last week's: The Good Samaritan. Each time I hear that story I am challenged to think of the ways I can be that person who allows the interruption in my schedule to help someone in… Continue reading A Good Samaritan – Jesus Interruptions

Reminders {God-Sighting Saturday}
This week I saw God every day in a friend who constantly points me to a HIM, the One who is bigger than anything I could face this week... Even if that means leaving a reminder on my microwave.... "The Lord your God is in your midst, a victorious warrior. He will exult over you… Continue reading Reminders {God-Sighting Saturday}
Sometimes… (Reflections on the last month or so of life)

Prayers for Friends
A beautiful prayer for our friends and family members. I have some friends for whom I'm praying this today. I bet you have some friends who could use some prayer too. "Father, when we hear how much You love us, that You'll always be there, how constant and consistent You are, it's hard for us… Continue reading Prayers for Friends
God-Sighting Saturday
At some point during the last week of 2012, I got thinking about the concept that many bloggers use where certain days of the week are dedicated to a specific blog post type. We have: 5-minute Friday - five minutes (and only five minutes) of unedited writing based on a weekly prompt Weird Verse Wednesday… Continue reading God-Sighting Saturday

I talked with friends, read blogs, searched the internet, and brainstormed, yet so many of the ideas I found all centered around doing things with your family each day... with the people… Continue reading A New Advent Tradition

Most of us interns have used the word “weird” in that description more times than we probably can count. It’s… Continue reading ‘Tis Good, Lord, To Be Here

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
Unable To Count That High
The leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and more fills the fridge. Pies and cookies line the buffet table ready to be eaten as soon as our stomachs can hold another bit of food. Bodies of friends lay asleep in the living room buried under blankets, pillows, and other remnants of last night’s sleepover. … Continue reading Unable To Count That High
