  • You May Be Worshiping Wrong
    Posted on Saturday, May 6th, 2017 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: acceptable worship, acceptance through Jesus Christ, Jesus is the only Way, worship, worshiping wrong

    There was a great sadness in the woman before me as we discussed the dysfunction of her marriage. “Does he ever bring you gifts?” I asked.

    Posted on Saturday, December 19th, 2009 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: acceptance through Jesus Christ, Advent, chimney, confession, forgiveness, Our God is a consuming fire, Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord

It’s natural that as fires burn in the fireplace through the year, that layer after layer of soot collects inside the chimney stack and if it is not cleaned out, it reaches a dangerous level.

    Posted on Sunday, November 29th, 2009 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: acceptance through Jesus Christ, Bathsheba, dead women, genealogy of Jesus, list, Mary, Matthew 1, Messiah, Rahab, Ruth, Tamar

    Did you ever want to stop and stay where you were for awhile but your traveling companion had the energy and drive to keep moving forward? I hate that. Sometimes a journey gets long and I get tired and the poppies are so pretty and smell so sweet that I just want to lie down …[ read more ]

  • Annoying Kids and the Kingdom of God
    Posted on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: acceptance through Jesus Christ, annoying kids, Family Guy, little children, Lois, Mark 10, relationship with God, Stewie

    There’s a television promo running right now that aptly captures the current state of my relationship with God. It’s a commercial advertising The Family Guy – a show of which I am NOT a fan and which I do NOT recommend watching. However, in the commercial, the baby of the family, Stewie, stands beside his …[ read more ]

    Lori, Our Lord never ceases to amaze.. you have succeeded in disturbing this Hobbit! I have been struggling with spiritual apathy and indifference recently and reading your witty, convicting, engaging, infuriating writings has helped me to realize that I am in good company. They have also given me the kick-start I need to get off my laurels! Keep looking up..keep going on for the Lord dear sister-in-Christ!
