The Doer Dilemma
When my father retired from work 20 years ago, I remember how he struggled to feel settled and to find a sense of purpose apart from being a “working” man. For a time I think Dad felt a little lost (although he probably would never admit it). The sense of responsibility and achievement he gotContinue reading “The Doer Dilemma”
Response Under Pressure
It’s not the challenge that defines us—it’s the victory! —Tracey Pekkanen Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides.

What is Truth and Who Gets the Last Word?
Truth is a thing that is immortal and eternal —Flavius Josephus. It is probably fair to say that most people like to have the last word and that many an argument has been given its momentum because of it. Recently my attention was drawn to some verses in Ecclesiastes that describe the purpose of oneContinue reading “What is Truth and Who Gets the Last Word?”

When Moses led the children of Israel outContinue reading “Moving Forward”

Surrender your anxiety; relax.Be still and realize that I am God.I am God above all the nations,and I am exalted throughout the whole earth.

Don’t Despise the Asses
Over the years I’ve thought about the life of Joseph. We can all take some comfort from his tests and trials, because they were not the end of Joseph’s story, but rather the beginning. Joseph certainly had some spectacularly amazing opportunities to abandon or to reject what God had shown him about his future. IContinue reading “Don’t Despise the Asses”
Psalm 139
He knows everything about you. You are never out of God’s sight. His desire is always for your good, and He knows all too well how to bring together what’s missing or lacking so that your life reflects more perfectly His glory and His purpose. 1 Lord, you know everything there is to know about me.2 YouContinue reading “Psalm 139”
