Death by phone
Today I was sitting in a professional training and the presenter asked us to think about the death of a loved one. Three immediately came to mind, as there are three people who are very dear to me that I have lost. I could not choose to pick just one. When I think of death... Continue Reading →
I often wonder
I often wonder how we got so far off from the way that God intended things. I understand that we live in a fallen world, and that we are sinners, but I do often wonder how we could let things go as far as they have. I wonder how the small compromises that no one... Continue Reading →
Don’t be satisfied with a glimpse, or even a taste if you can experience the fullness
I was talking with a friend recently about the difference between receiving something for your self from God versus reading something or hearing it.

Recently my youngest daughter turned eighteen. I... Continue Reading →
The Little Things
As I read the scriptures though, there is a consistent theme of God wanting to be in the small details. I think about how He wanted the ark made, or the temple, or the tabernacle. He cared about the very intricate details. He cared so much, that he took the time to spell out every... Continue Reading →
Mercy, Grace and Forgiveness
Realizing the difference between Mercy, Grace and Forgiveness is important. There are times where we look at forgiveness and think that because we act differently that we have forgiven.
