the Hand that shuts the door
When we read the story of Noah, we are amazed at the detailed instructions he gave Noah. He told Noah exactly how to build the ark. 14 “Make yourself an ark of gopher wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it with pitch inside and outside. 15 This is how you are to…

He knows your name.
I was thinking about my goats the other day. I had dropped my kids at the airport and on my way back I took the country roads. I thought of each of them and a thought came to mind. They each had a name. There was Brownie that we nicknamed…

Redemption is life changing

stop running and turn around.
Yesterday we explored the choices we make. We either walk with the Spirit or we walk with our old nature and in the flesh. There is no third option. While working, I meditated on the verse used yesterday. 13 For you were called to be free, brothers and sisters; only don’t use…

identity crisis.
Yesterday I implored readers to consider the most insidious net, the worst trap of all shame. Shame is satan’s weapon for keeping our eyes on the ground. Shame is an identity we keep when we can not let go of our past sufferings or past wrongdoings. We keep our old…
