Steve McCoy’s Reformissionary is one of the blogs I regularly read.  His wife, Molly, was recently diagnosed with Chiari Malformation and is being scheduled for surgery in the next few weeks.  You can read more on his blog, but I’m asking for prayer for them over the coming weeks and months as they deal withContinue reading “Prayer Request”

Let me say at the outset… I love reading John Piper’s material!  It challenges me, confronts me, comforts me, exhorts, encourages, and blesses me time and again.  I do thank God for His work on/in/through this man’s life. OK, now on to the reason for this post.  I was reading Steve McCoy’s blog recently andContinue reading “Single ness”

(to the tune of “If I Were A Rich Man”) “If I were a writer, yada deeda, deeda, dada, dada, deeda, deeda di. I would sit and type up words of life, if I were a writing man.” Ok, so I tried.  Give me credit for that!  Ok, then, don’t.  I understand.  “Yada deeda” don’tContinue reading “An Ideal Space”

THE BEAUTY OF THE LORD May 4, 2007 EVENING SESSION Icebreakers, name callers. Ok, not really name callers, but opportunities to get to know someone else’s name.  With my maddening inability to remember names, it will be interesting to see how long I can remember them. 96 women have convened on Camp Chinquapin, near Pinecrest,Continue reading “The Beauty of the Lord”

Have you noticed the increased amount of contemporary music lately that is played during a show, or at the end.  I can’t remember what show I used to watch that would tell you, at the end of the show, the names of the albums or musicians that you had heard.  Maybe it was Dawson’s Creek,Continue reading “Brett Dennen”

Today was an interesting study in contrasts.  It was a Monday kind of start to the the day at work; trying to get things done, having to wait on others before the things could get done…  I keep a web browser open while I work; glancing at it throughout the day to see what isContinue reading “Broken Hallelujah”

It’s National Poetry Month!  …ok.  I guess it’s an acquired taste.  I know when you mention poetry in some circles, it creates some unease as people recall their childhood and having to get up in front of their 4th or 5th grade class and stutter through "I think that I shall never see…" I rememberContinue reading “It’s National Poetry Month”

He is Risen!  Easter was a quiet affair this year.  Last year I went down south to see my daughter (Mandy) and son-in-law (Matt) and spend Easter at his family’s house (the Ruffner’s).  Following sunrise service at the Ruffner’s church (Grace Baptist) and then morning service at Matt and Mandy’s church (Copperhill Church), we wentContinue reading “Easter”

I recently had the opportunity to join the folks at ReImagine in San Francisco for a Learning Lab. I’d had the privilege of hearing Mark Scandrette speak to my Perspectives class earlier in the course and he extended this invitation to any who were interested in joining them for this event. I took him upContinue reading “Walking in the Ways of the Kingdom”

December 2006 I lost someone recently. Sadly, I actually lost him a week before I even knew he had been lost. It’s quite pathetic when you don’t know you’ve lost someone. I didn’t know I’d lost him. I didn’t know he was lost. I didn’t know he was LOST! I don’t have all the details.Continue reading “Lost”
