I am a huge lover of movies. I will watch anything except horror flicks, and I definitely do not enjoy all chick flicks. Some are just ridiculous. My favorites are action and comedy genres. The more action the better and more laughs are the best. Every now and then in the movies there is a … Continue reading near

path
Twisty turny, topsy turvy...if you were someone who didn't know me and took a birds eye view of my life this crazy pattern is kind of the life path you would see. My life doesn't make sense to anyone who chooses to live outside of God's Kingdom, plus a few folks who are within it, … Continue reading path

They have no clue what they were in for...this is what I think every time I read Luke 10. Jesus is sending out his guys, and he is giving them a myriad of marching orders. Do this. Don't take that. Peace. Kingdom of God. And don't forget to shake the dust off your feet if … Continue reading joy

Where I live, wheelbarrows have many uses. As general transportation, gravel mover, nap location, boom box blast station and storefront…among other uses I am sure I am not aware of in Haiti. The point is that it is still the same object, a wheelbarrow. But the creativity, sometimes out of lack of anything else, of … Continue reading church

‘Who do you say I am?’ Jesus asked his disciples this in Matthew 16:15, and since it came on my radar last weekend I cannot get it to stop playing on a loop in my head. Jesus asked the disciples in Matthew 16:13, ‘Who do people say the son of man is?’ and they go … Continue reading jesus

I’ve seen countless women answering God’s call to be present within the orphan window around the world. Obvious reasons feed into why women are drawn to orphan care. Each has an innate way they nurture, love and care for others. I’ve even been surprised to see some of these qualities come out in myself. What … Continue reading men

‘JESUS!’ What would happen if you screamed the name of our sovereign God at the top of your lungs in your street? Would it be met with equally loud yells to keep it to yourself? Perhaps everyone would just ignore the weird Jesus freak on the street? I know some of us have neighbors who … Continue reading vivian

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” [Acts 1:8] Beyond the fact that this is one of my absolute favorite verses, and there are plenty of people that … Continue reading witness

Love. If I use it I mean it. I don’t throw it around easily, so when I say it I care about that person a lot. I’ve been the one on the other end of ‘I love you’ who awkwardly goes, ‘uh, yah, well...me too.’ I think that too many people throw around that ‘L’ … Continue reading renmen
resurrection
The entire life of Jesus present with God’s creation led up to his sacrifice for us, not ending there at death, but rising again in resurrection. God sent him, so that his life would redeem his creation. I think of all the times in the Old Testament that God was angry with his creation, and … Continue reading resurrection
