Let God Out of That Box!
Many years ago when I was in college, I worked at a Christian bookstore in the customer service department. Our duties in that department included imprinting names on Bibles, managing items that people had special ordered, and wrapping gifts. I became a master gift-wrapper.

“Those crazy Israelites! They saw God rescue them from Egypt via ten plagues and part the Red Sea yet they still complain!

If you aren’t familiar with it, it tells the story of Moses from the time he was a baby in a basket until he led God’s people out of Egypt. (It uses some artistic license and fudges on aContinue reading “A 21-Day Challenge to a Stronger Faith”
Overwhelming Love: Our SPD Story
“I believe it might be Sensory Processing Disorder.” Those were the words from the school psychologist referring to my son. I knew something was wrong. He obviously had some challenges we had never picked up on before the last couple of months. But let me back up a little…
When Faith Takes Over for Fear
I know you don’t know me. But I am a fearful, worrying person. Okay, so those aren’t my only qualities, but they are the most relevant to this post. I seek security of every kind. Financial… relational… physical. And because I seek security, I don’t often seek adventure. Oh, I used to. I used toContinue reading “When Faith Takes Over for Fear”
