I am finding that I tend to be ok with the big challenges of life, but that I often hold onto the small day-to-day challenges – little pains, dealing with the healthcare bureaucracy, being tired, etc. I keep these things to myself and don’t give them to God as I want to. I need to pray about why this is so. I know Matthew 10:28 “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall …

One thing is consistent about vacations….you don’t want to leave. You long to remain there for one more swim in the pool or one more hour at the beach. We all want to linger, tarry, continue and remain on vacation. This word remain is the same word used in scripture when Jesus reminds us of a secret to a great relationship with Him. John 15:5 says, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me …

The Bible records a story in John 4 of a Samaritan woman fetching water at a well and her life-changing encounter with Jesus. The setting of the story is at Jacob’s well, where this woman goes each day to get water for drinking, bathing and washing in her home. She returns to that well day after day….coming to the well each day is a chore that seems to have no end. Whereas most Jewish men would not engage or …
From 1991 – 1993 scientists embarked on a bold mission to replicate the world’s biological systems in an enclosed facility called Biosphere II. The Arizona-based experiment included a crew that lived in the “closed world” for two years. The crew grew their own food, did experiments, learned how to function together (that part of the mission did not go so well) and they tried to replicate the natural environment of plants and the other building blocks of life. One of …
If you are like me, you probably have days when you get so wrapped up in life’s rapid-fire events that you leave God out. Everyday events, conflicts, fears, interpersonal clashes, decisions and trials get solved….more or less…on our own. This, to say the least, does not result in the inner peace that God promises us. I am fortunate that in a moment of quiet reflection some time ago, God gave me a image in my mind that was so real I could almost feel it. It was a …

How did you come to know God in a personal way? I grew up in the church and at a young age accepted Jesus as my savior. I probably heard the gospel message of Christ 1,000 times by the time I was 13 years old, so I was fortunate to know at an early age that I was a sinner and needed salvation. What things kept you from taking that step to want to know God personally? Fear of …
