Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; But he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Proverbs 29:18 American Standard Version I wear glasses. It is frustrating when they fog up in the cold. It is downright dangerous for me to drive without them. Not only do I risk myself, but I…
10Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by Chloe’s people, that there are…
4Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. 6There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons. 7But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8For to one is…
Weighing heavily on my heart... Folk, the Lord is timeless and all knowing and all powerful. He is, at once, in every time at all time. St Augustine describes it so beautifully that His Word is still "alive" right now because the syllables are being spoke every second. Otherwise, the words of God…
An anime, a rom-com, and a youtube from a Catholic priest all walked into my head... 😀 I have been thinking about families and tribes and friends and groups and 'bands of brothers'. Are you and I actively seeking ways to help others in their quests, struggles, activities? Are we acting like a…
I think the church needs to emphasize one day of rest. I do not mean "Attend Church On the Sabbath Or Else". I mean tell congregations "Look, the Lord took a day. Trust Him that it is ok for you to take a day. Encourage a day of REST in your family. It does not…
Here is the thing: both the extrovert and the introvert are necessary. Let me repeat, BOTH ARE NECESSARY. Each "-version" brings something to the table, but can't be all things to all people. That is where the other "-version" comes in. When both "-versions" work together under the direction of God, we are more likely…
So if we know that introverts are not (always) self centered, aloof, jerks then what is the disconnect? Why are we even having this discussion? I don't know, ask the folk in the books. It seems silly to me, but there are a few reasons why this is even a thing. Some of it is…
Christmas was a couple of days ago, and this is one of the books I had requested and received. I would not necessarily call myself a charismatic, though I am a firm believer in all the moving of the Holy Spirit and that the ability to speak the very words of God in teaching…
We are a family of introverts (except for my son, who is the most quiet extrovert you will ever find). We attend a church that I love. I love the mission of the church, the outreach. We have programs and ministries to get out and associate with the people, to care for them and…
