Last week I started the post on Tuesday as Tuesday Faith Check (you can link to that post here). In keeping with that idea, I have a question for you: Where do you put your faith? Here is what I mean by that question. Often times, with good intentions, we begin to put our faith [...]

What Would the World Be Like If . . .?
Posted in Community, Formation, Hope on January 23, 2012 | 2 Comments »
In preparing for our devotional time last night, I ran across a quote from Lion and Lamb, by Brennan Manning. He said, What distinguishes the Christians whose faith is deep, burning, powerful, and luminous is . . . seriousness. Seriousness is not the opposite of joy but of superficiality. He then went on to use [...]
Make an Investment

I had an idea of what I was going to ramble on about today. I had to leave the house early to head to Lubbock and I left early on purpose in order to have time to stop by my new favorite coffee shop. As I drove, the sun was just beginning to come up [...]
Where Do You Encounter God?

Where do you encounter God? Is it at church? When you are there, do you sense God’s real presence? Or maybe you encounter God when you witness a breath taking sunrise. The colors and magnificence scream of an amazing God. Maybe for you, God can be found in the face of a child – their [...]
Seeing With God’s Eyes

I was reading an article written by a pastor in the early 1900′s last night. The title of the article by Percy Ainsworth is The Wilderness and the Sunrise. The overall theme of the article is the hope we have in Jesus. One of the statements Ainsworth made in the article has set me to [...]
Who Is Thankful For You?

Last week I read a question that I have not been able to get out of my head all week. This was the question: ”Who will praise God for you in 2012?” I guess I don’t think much about other people praising God for me. But as I have pondered this question, I have reached [...]
Make a Difference – - Today!
Posted in Community, Formation, Hope on December 15, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I subscribe to several blogs and news sites by email. So each morning, my inbox is overflowing with information begging to be read. This morning, the subject line of one of the emails was simply – “Make a Difference.” I clicked on it to see where this subject line might take me and it was [...]
Remembering at Christmas Time
Posted in Community, Hope on December 7, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I have a confession to make – – it is December 7 and we still don’t have our Christmas tree up at our house. I realize this would be a travesty in some homes and I am feeling the guilt even as I write this. Tomorrow night will be the first time we have been [...]
We Were Created For Love

This morning as part of my morning reading, I picked up Thomas Merton’s A Book of Hours. I read him fairly regularly and when I do, I rarely come away from the experience disappointed. Take a look at this and let it rest on your soul for a few minutes To say that I am [...]
Will They See God In Me Today?
Posted in Community, Formation, Hope on November 21, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Typically, my prayer leading up to each Sunday is that God’s presence would be felt and known during our time together here at church. I pray that God’s spirit would move and people would truly have the experience of coming face to face with God. That will continue to be my prayer. But this morning [...]
