Someday, Someday
This world is not our home. I'm reminded of that whenever I or someone close to me experiences pain and trouble. Things aren't the way they are supposed to be. But someday...someday...God is going to right every wrong. Someday, all the poor and powerless will be invited to sit down at a great feast in … Continue reading Someday, Someday
Reflections on the Psalms: Psalm 23 Part 3
These past two weeks I've shared some thoughts on Psalm 23. Today, I want to look at the final section of this great song of David.

Comparison is the Thief of Joy
There I was, at the gym, pumping iron, and feeling good. I was lifting more weight than I had ever lifted before in my life! And then it happened. I looked over, saw some skinny dude racking up the weight on his bar, and lift more weight and pound out more reps than what I … Continue reading Comparison is the Thief of Joy
Reflections on the Psalms: Part 1
Back in Jr. High, I have this vivid memory of feeling like an outsider and like I didn’t know my place. Have you ever felt that way? If you’re like most people- you probably have felt that way at some point in your life. Now- Jr. High is awkward for pretty much everybody. You’re getting … Continue reading Reflections on the Psalms: Part 1
