There’s More!

A few weeks ago I wrote a post called Take Up Your Cross.  I didn’t really cover that subject from all sides and wanted to elaborate on it. 
The Lord graciously spoke to me recently when I was watching a DVD called, “The Blazing Center” by John Piper where he delivers a teen version of his “Christian Hedonism” theme (devoting [...]

A Chance to Die

I finished reading Elisabeth Elliot’s biography of Amy Carmichael entitled A Chance to Die.  It has been a few weeks since I finished it, but I haven’t had a chance to sit down and put together my thoughts about this book until today.

Odds and Ends

I got an encouraging email from Ligonier Ministries Blog entitled, ”Facing Our Fears”.  I think it is a topic we all face far too often.  Here it is:

My new diet is called the “Eat One Day a Week Diet”.  Sound interesting?  Why should I need to eat more than one day a week?  If I smell food every day or watch [...]

Grief – In Progress

Events like Kira’s accident in April are always eye openers, aren’t they?  Those situations always get you thinking about serious things - or at least they should!
I sat in the ER holding Kira’s hand and talking to her, trying to get her to respond to me and wondering if we might lose her.  It turned out to be [...]

Don’t Make Me Count To Three – book review

I have just finished reading this book, Don’t Make Me Count To Three by Ginger Plowman.  It is SO GOOD! 
I have been contemplating how hard it is to kind of start over with child raising.  Adopting the girls when our daughter was eighteen felt like going back in time a long ways.  And in regards to discipline [...]
