The room is dark. The house is cold. I snuggle deep under the down comforter. And reach out my hand to fumble for the Droid on the bedside table. While the mantra runs through my head. Hit your knees before you hit the keys. ~@stickyJesus But I pull the Droid under the covers. And hit […]
Textures of Text: Stone Crossings–Doubt
They come. Irritating like grit under a contact lens. Like a dog hair embedded in the sole of my foot. Slivers of doubt. They creep in unannounced, uninvited, and unwanted. How could a loving God allow thousands of souls to be swept out to sea? What if life really is all an accident? What […]
Monday Meditation: Drinking from the Fountain
We spend an hour in the pet store. We read. We compare. We finally decide. On a 60-dollar kitty water fountain. Well, 50 dollars with our discount. Platinum, it says. Because Geisha thinks she can only drink from the kitchen faucet. This morning I fill it up and hook it up and set it up […]
Sunday Seasoned Sayings: God Blazes!
Sunrise The God of gods—it’s God!—speaks out, shouts, “Earth!” welcomes the sun in the east, farewells the disappearing sun in the west. From the dazzle of Zion, God blazes into view. Our God makes his entrance, he’s not shy in his coming. Starbursts of fireworks precede him. Psalm 50:1-3 (Message) Sunset May you be […]
Saturday Snaps: I See!
One thing I do know I was blind but now I see! John 9:25 (NIV) Saturday blessings, In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don’t. ~Blaise Pascal
Fuel for the Weekend: Touching the Tassel
But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall. ~Malachi 4:2 (NASB) We gather around the table. The new widow. The exhausted young mom. The heart-broken grandma. The financially stressed and the health […]
Reflections on @stickyJesus: Chapter 15
There are so many other things Jesus did. If they were all written down, each of them, one by one, I can’t imagine a world big enough to hold such a library of books. ~John 21:25 (Message) We’ve come to the end of this book. But really, it’s just the beginning. For me, anyway. You’ve […]
Window on Writing: Looking into the Light
A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged; it is the skin of a living thought and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and time in which it is used.~Oliver Wendall Holmes, Jr. We’ve been staring at the sun over at The High Calling. Trying to capture lens flare […]
Reflections on @stickyJesus: Chapter 14
Congratulations! You’ve decided to blog. But what do you write about? Where do you get ideas? As an ambassador for Christ, you have His content as your content. There are not enough days in your lifetime to exhaust the mysteries, the depth, the heights, or the dimensions of His life-changing, soul-morphing truth. ~@stickyJesus, p. 160 […]
Monday Meditation: In the Becoming
We don’t yet see things clearly. We’re squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won’t be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us! I Corinthians 13:12 (MSG) […]
