So for the past several weeks I have been doing everything I can to make things work. You know “work harder” “work more”. Basically doing whatever I can to make life work. It is a slippery slope for me anyway and with the “current times” it has turned into a cliff. I guess to sum [...]

God’s Sovereign Soil

I was listening to NPR this morning and they had an interview with one of the officers from the naval vessel that assisted in the rescue of the captain from the ship that was held hostage by pirates from Somalia. He described a few things that happened in the rescue and shooting and toward the [...]
Oil Prices and My Life

Can you remember when gas prices were quickly approaching the $4 mark? I know that it wasn’t all that long ago, three weeks ago to be exact. Everyone was selling their SUV that they were $10k upside down on and rolling the additional debt into a Toyota Yaris or Honda Fit. Now they own a [...]
God is like Yoda

God is like Yoda. Now stick with me and don’t get thrown off (and no I am not a Star Wars junkie). In our – or at least my – pursuit of Him, I have ideas of who He is. And as I look for those, I often miss Him because He doesn’t match my [...]
Will The ‘Real Me’ Please Stand Up

I am in the process of discovering who I really am. Over the past 38 years I have developed an extreme case of multiple personality disorder. Not the kind that I need to be hospitalized for but the kind that allows me to exist and operate in a wide variety of different situations and circumstances. [...]
The One Jesus Loves

It has been quite a while since I have written anything for our hearts alive blog. Not for any particular reason, just because I have not “felt” much of a need to write. I have been in a place of, well, I will call it OK. Not good, not bad, just OK. I have been [...]
Too Fast

For some time now, God has been working on my affair with busyness. First it was my workaholism then it was my schedule and then my feeling of inadequacy when I didn’t complete my to-do list. I have been sucked into the busyness of this world and sucked in deep and hard. As a matter [...]
Should I settle?

As I look for a parking spot I find one that is close and good, but I could get closer. You know… “rock star” parking in the front row. I decide to risk it and look for something better. There it is, THE spot. Right in the front row and closest to the door. It [...]
A free Cup of Coffee

For several months now, I have been praying that God will show me how he loves me today. If I can truly understand how much I am loved, I won’t look to other people or circumstances to make me feel like I am OK. I think that this is how Paul was ‘content in all [...]
Don’t Bless Me

I had the pleasure of spending some time with a man who truly walks with God this past week. It was an amazing experience. He is unassuming and not very dynamic, but the “weight” of his words were…. well, weighty. I listened to him for about 2 hours and most of what he said made [...]
