These days, I’m fixated on helping broken Christians feel better.
It’s tempting to talk about “in this season of life,” or “my calling,” or other noble-sounding catch phrases. These can become cliche real fast.
Seriously, though, I’ve been giving a lot of thought to what I’m supposed to be when I grow up. Helping broken Christians feel better might be part of that equation.
There are some things that take up too much headspace for me – specifically, things that are out of my control. I realized when I started writing this particular blog that I had way too much to share in just one sitting. So this will be continued next time, okay? (Teaser!) Fact is, there are […]
God knows.
Actually, He knows everything about you. He knows your thoughts before you think them. He knows what will be going on in your life on November 5, 2022, 7:13 p.m.
That’s called omnipotence. God knows all.
I don’t even begin to comprehend that.
My understanding of that truth, though, is actually pretty comforting. Maybe you knowing God knows will comfort you, too.
Uncertain times. Would you consider the days we live in uncertain times? I watch the news, sometimes … if you’ve been following this blog for any length of time, you know that I encourage you in uncertain times to back away from that 24-hour news cycle. It will work on you. It will diminish your […]
Life is full of hard lessons, now isn’t it? This should be self-evident, but we could probably save ourselves a lot of grief if we’d just simply chill. What I’ll share with you today falls in that vein. This pondering on hard lessons might strike you as defeatist. I’ll go with it anyway; you may […]
Look. I don’t know of anyone who would willingly choose to experience a broken heart. The jaw-dropping reality, and what all my ponderings today hinge on, is that Jesus willingly suffered and died in our place so that He could reign as high priest in heaven.
He knows just exactly what it’s like to be brokenhearted. He’s been there. Isn’t that something?
If finding rest from the worry and the bustle of the world is something you seek, then I have some amazing thoughts for you.
Yes, I’m guilty. Yes, I am forgiven.
Yes, You judge me. Yes, You cleanse me.
Yes, I deserve Your wrath. Yes, Jesus takes the full force of it.
I ran across this quote from E.B. White (you read Charlotte’s Web, right?) and it is haunting me, because it has to do with being compassionate and upright. I want to tease this one out. “As long as there is one upright man, as long as there is one compassionate woman, the contagion may spread […]
Here are 10 things never to say with someone dealing with mental health issues I can’t find the quote or source, but it goes something like this: “Some people pretend to be sick. Those with mental health issues pretend to be well.” Depression, anxiety, fears … they are part of the human experience. Fact is, […]
Why does God allow you (and me) to suffer? We are going to suffer in this world. Count on that. We don’t have to wish it on ourselves – that’s sort of weird – but we need to be ready for it.
The reason I’m taking a look at the RAS today is because (drum roll!) I’m about to help you understand who you are and why you do and think the things you do. I was today years old when I learned about the Reticular Activating System (RAS).
I know that sounds pretty esoteric, but stick around. You’re about to have your eyes opened.
