God's Word, A Comfort in Trials (2.0)

Earlier this year I spent 4 months in a children’s hospital with our daughter. While there we received tons of cards and care packages from our family and our church family. Our “card wall” was a wonderful testimony of the love we share in Christ to all who entered our room.

Cleaning House

We are SO blessed to rent our little town home. The location is close to schools and everything we were used to having in Kansas. It’s bigger than the place we came from and has more than one powder room! Utilities are reasonable, someone else mows the grass and tends the landscaping, and our neighbors seem sweet. We were told that many people wanted to rent this place and we are sure God kept it just for us through connections with the seminary and church.

Cutting Through Life

Surfing through the stations one Saturday afternoon I came across the lumberjack competitions being televised on ESPN. Like the strongest man competitions I had to stop and watch.

Music and Memories

I was reminded Sunday in worship that I attach memories to music. I can hear a song and instantly be transported back to the time, place, and people connected with that song.

Can I sum up 6 weeks in one page??

Today our family has been in North Carolina 6 weeks. A LOT has happened. Lots of emotions, lots of things to get used to, lots of things to give God thanks for. I’ll attempt a brief summary! (Those of you who know me feel free to laugh at this point!)

Texas Cholem and Pursuing Christ

Sooner or later the question is asked by a majority of those who find themselves still awake at 2:00 AM. A fresh pot of coffee in the corner of the kitchen, a list of Hebrew nouns and verbs to memorize and a 1000 pages of Biblical, Systematic, Pastoral and any other theology needing to be read in a “that’s not right” amount of time. What is the question you ask? It is the question that should be asked sooner than later. The question that, when answered, will either fill your sails to complete your voyage or cause you to abandon all hope and turn back from where you came. It is the question – everyone now – “Why am I here doing this?”
