I have to be the first to admit, I don’t like to stop. I feel guilty if I’m not making good use of my time. There is so much to do and no one else is getting it done (or so I tell myself). When I don’t stop and rest, burnout is sure to follow. […]

Stealing from God
The children of Israel crossed over Jordan and defeated Jericho. They made their way to Ai. Spies were sent out and determined that only three thousand men were needed to capture the city. They were defeated. Joshua cries out to God for answers and learns that the people have disobeyed. At Jericho, God gave the […]
The Eager Prophet
Moses said, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” Exodus 3:11 (NIV) He continued to offer excuse after excuse for the job God sent him on. Jonah ran in the opposite direction from God’s mission for him. Reluctant at best to do what God called them […]
Crossing Jordan
Now the Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest. Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge, the water from upstream stopped flowing. It piled up in a heap a great distance away…The priests who carried the ark of the covenant of […]
Transformation

Drought
Nearly half the country is experiencing drought right now. If you drive by any farm it’s easy to see. The corn is dried up. The ground is dry. Other crops are failing, too. If you could be a fly on the wall inside the homes of farmers, you would hear the concerns over how they […]
Root Systems
The roots of the sequoia tree are found no deeper than 6 feet, but they spread for more than 150 feet. This system supports a tree that stands as tall as 250-300 feet – that’s 25 stories high. One tree can weigh 12 million pounds – that’s how much a small ocean freighter weighs. For […]
Moving
A few years ago, my family moved to our current residence. It was not a comfortable move. It was a God directed move. We moved to a different state into a much smaller house. In the interest of being able to fit our things onto one moving truck and then into our new house – […]
The Bride Divided
Unforgiven offenses within the church lead to division of one sort or another, whether it’s a church split or simply separating oneself from one another within the body, or walking away altogether. Believers have a tug of war over who is right and who is wrong, determined to be the one left standing. Sometimes it […]
