The Pilgrimage

Christianity Today

January 24, 2011

A few months ago, my monthly copy of Christianity Today arrived at my house with Jesus on the front cover- in RayBan sunglasses. Before reading it, I assumed  the cover article by Brett McCracken, called “Hipster Faith,” would be about somebody else, maybe somebody or several people I know, but not me. But I was [...]

True Woman Conference Notes: Part One

March 30, 2010

                               Last August, when I registered for the True Woman conference in Chattanooga, TN, I had no idea how much I was going to need the time of restoration that I was blessed with this last weekend. I was so blessed that [...]

Taking It To Heart

March 8, 2010

    Yesterday I wrote about a young mother and her loss. All day long the loss thoughts have been haunting me. Every time I had to remind Clara to put something up and I was tempted to raise my voice or speak sharply, I would think about the mothers who've lost their girls and I would [...]

The Hope of Glory and Me

January 29, 2010

(The following is an excerpt from C.H. Spurgeon's Finding Peace In Life's Storms)     "Christians do not show unbelievers the joy of their hope often enough….We are as silent as if we were ashamed of our hope.

As the Ruin Falls by C S Lewis

January 13, 2010

All this is flashy rhetoric about loving you. I never had a selfless thought since I was born. I am mercenary and self-seeking through and through: I want God, you, all friends, merely to serve my turn. Peace, re-assurance, pleasure, are the goals I seek, I cannot crawl one inch outside my proper skin: I talk [...]

Accepted In The Beloved

September 23, 2009

  I have been so busy lately that I’ve neglected my time with God. Before that, I was tired. And before that I was sick. And before that I was doing good! Getting up early, going to the gym, having a wonderful time of quiet with God and His Word before the kids woke up.    [...]

Mysteries

August 8, 2009

   Life is filled with mystery. There are many questions we have that might not be answered this side of eternity. I talked to a friend of mine recently about a mystery that is especially troubling to most folks.     She mentioned Rachel Barkey, who passed away recently after a battle with cancer, and her response [...]

But He Gives More Grace

July 18, 2009

  I’ve been a little down the last couple of days. Down over silly, little things that really shouldn’t be getting to me. But they do. Or I let them. And then I kind of revel in the sadness. That’s where it turns into sin. It’s one thing to have a down thought, but when you [...]
