  • When You’re Just a Big Loser
    Posted on Wednesday, August 14th, 2019 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: am I a loser, redemption, what happens when a Christian messes up, when you feel like a loser

    Sometimes you think you’re getting somewhere, you know, with this whole growing up in Jesus business. You’re hitting your Bible regularly and going deep, not just the quick pass over a verse and a thought but digging in and rocking it. Your prayer life is consistent and gets more involved than “Help!” and “Please!” (not …[ read more ]

  • Satan Runs a Numbers Game but We Don’t Have to Play
    Posted on Monday, October 24th, 2016 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: grace, mercy, numbers, redemption, Satan, word problems

    Satan doesn’t wear red silk pajamas and horns, nor does he carry a pitchfork. No, Satan wears a suit from Brooks Brothers, horn-rimmed glasses, a visor, and he comes at you armed with an adding machine. See, Satan runs a backroom numbers game and he’s always showing up to check your tally. How much do …[ read more ]

  • All the Broken Fathers
    Posted on Monday, May 30th, 2016 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: abandoned children, abused, broken fathers, broken mothers, broken parents, child abuse, childhood trauma, childhood wounds, dysfunctional, inadequacy, neglected, not enough, PTSD, recovery, redemption, rejected, saving our parents, sins of the fathers, surviving childhood, wounded

    All the broken fathers who fell short of what we needed and all the faltering mothers who chose their own needs over ours, they follow us, long after we’ve moved past them, into adulthood, into our own parenting, into our relationship with God. It is the first failing we own, our inability to heal our …[ read more ]

  • It’s Not the Fall That’ll Kill You . . .
    Posted on Thursday, May 19th, 2016 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: broken foot, Jesus Christ, overcoming bad decisions, poor choices, redemption, the cross, the Living Vine, time space continuum

    It’s not the fall that’ll kill you . . . It’s not really the landing either. What will kill you, or drive you batty, or rob you of joy, or complicate your recovery is constantly replaying that last step, the single decision, the wrong choice, or the split-second the bad thing happened and sent you …[ read more ]

  • The Secret to Saving Tinkerbell
    Posted on Thursday, January 7th, 2016 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: Abraham and Sarah in Egypt, Abraham lied, Abram, Abram and Sarai, crisis of faith, faith in God's protection, false gods, lapse of faith, redemption, restoration, reviving Tinkerbell, Tinkerbell, when faith fails

    You know how to keep Tinkerbell alive, don’t you? Fairies die if people don’t believe in them so you must believe or “poof.” A crowd can revive a fairy, if you get them to clap for her and say they believe. The bigger the crowd, the faster she revives. Jesus has nothing in common with …[ 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!
