Giants, Grasshoppers, Gaga, & God

Numbers 13. It’s made up of thirty-three verses of God’s story penned to paper. I encourage you to read it, but for the sake of time, let me sum it up for you. Twelve men. Chosen to go into a land promised to be their own possession. The men, scholars believe, were between 30-40 years of age. “Go up into the land,” they were told, “and see what it’s like.” The twelve were to determine… Are the people strong or are they weak? Are they many or are they few? Is the land good or is it bad? Are the cities like camps or strongholds? Is the land rich...

He Told Me I Couldn’t Do It, So I Spit in His Face

There’s a hill. Just around the corner from my house. We drive up and down that hill all the time. And  I’ve walked it a handful of times. Believe me when I say the incline will work your backside and make your legs burn something fierce. Mind you, it’s nothing like climbing Mt. Everest or Mt. Kilimanjaro in the least, but for me, it’s a challenge. I’ve wanted to run this hill for quite some time. I’ve stood at it’s bottom looking upwards, longing to make it to the top victorious. But, I’ve been too afraid. And, he told me I couldn’t do...

The Familiar Wasn’t Familiar

It’s was a familiar passage. One I’ve read many times. But I didn’t want the familiar-read-through of the black and white before me. My heart craved more than the norm, the same—the normal same leaves me, well…the same in a normal kind of way . So, I prayed… Speak a new word, Lord. Make the familiar transform. May the living and active Word work mightily in my heart today. “In the beginning God…” (Genesis 1:1) the words swam around in my head and then plunged deep into my crevices of my heart. IN THE BEGINNING GOD… There’s such...

Seven Words on Consecration Weekend

Posted on Jan 1, 2012 | 2 comments

I’m not much into makin’ resolutions for the new year. It seems that every time I make a ‘New Year’s Resolution’ I end up trash talkin’ myself a few weeks later because I’ve failed, yet again, at accomplishing what I set out with the best intentions to do. So this year I’ve made no resolutions. Haven’t even set any goals really. I’m just living life. Living each and every day to its fullest. Running after Jesus with a passion. Striving each day to be more like Him in that very moment than I was in the last. But I must tell you that...
