Kitchen Duty!!

I like washing dishes. By hand. With lots and lots of hot soapy water. I don’t care if it’s just one plate, or a mountain of dishes with pans of slop. I also like using the dishwasher, though. The organizational challenge is enjoyable. Sweeping is fun too, as is mopping. Dusting is loads of fun, [...]

Ask, Seek, Knock [from the Archives]

Sometimes the old things come back to teach us again. This is a message I really think I need to share again with you all. It is a repost from 2009, in my early blog days. Enjoy. Greetings, Matthew 7:7-8 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it [...]

A Rant For You

What is the meaning of life? Why are we here? Does it matter? Should we give any thought to anything beyond ourselves? Why should we trust anyone but our own selves? What is there beyond what we see? Are there hopes, dreams, possibilities beyond what we can ken at this moment? Is there hope beyond [...]

Prayer Vs. Bible Reading: Which is Better?

Prayer is a beautiful, amazing, powerful thing. God’s Word is an even more beautiful, amazing, powerful thing. Or is it the other way around? Or… does it make any sense either way? I don’t think it does. I often hear people extolling one or other of these glorious things over the other one, and although [...]

Mastering the Art of Singletasking

Multitasking is a common buzzword right now. And it is both decried as having a viciant and virulent effect on our capability to function with facility, and as being the prime panacea of production. Which is right? Well, honestly, I don’t think either are right. I think multitasking has its place, and I think it [...]

Eccentricity, Mathematics, and Peculiar People

I am eccentric. Quite so. In fact, almost invariably so. And I quite like it. Now, when most people notice my eccentricity (and they do), they generally comment on how weird it is, and then make some comment about fitting in or having to still be able to communicate with people or something along those [...]

I Want to Forget

I have a pretty bad memory. Honest. Yes, I’ve trained it to be able to memorise things rapidly and securely, but I needed to do that because my natural memory is so bad. I’m so bad I can forget the topic of a conversation halfway through the third sentence. I’m even having a hard time [...]

A Short Post on Compassion

I originally wrote this as an assignment for a Reformer’s Unanimous challenge. It is quite short, but I thought y’all might like something more quick and to the point for a change. 2 Chronicles 28:1-15 1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he [...]

A Mountainous Vision

Last week I talked about a concept that I have found life-changing… a life principle that will re-energize your walk with God no matter what you are walking through – exciting or boring. This week I plan to expand on that principle a bit, or rather add upon it. I want to share with you [...]

* Bounce Bounce Bounce *

Okay, so that title was a bit misleading. This is a deep post. Very deep. * nod nod * Well maybe not that deep. But it was life-changing for me, and I wanted to share it with you. See, I am a collector. I don’t collect Hotwheels or stamps though, I collect principles. Life principles [...]
