Amazing thunderstorm outside tonight. I haven’t seen a light show like that since…maybe never! I love love love thunderstorms! As I was standing on the back patio watching what seemed like CONSTANT lightning–avoiding sitting in the metal chairs–I could only picture the majesty, might, and power of God. He is above all. and He is [...]

Answered Prayers
Do we always notice when God answers prayers? Because God has his own timing on things, sometimes prayers aren’t answered right away. And thinking deeper on it, sometimes things can’t be “done” by the flip of a switch. If, for example, I’m praying for a specific character quality in myself or my kids, it stands [...]

Breaking the Fast
Finally, I can speak again. Not that I couldn’t before, but I was pre-occupied. Together with my coworkers at LifeChurch.tv, I have been fasting–for 21 days. Not a full fast where you eat nothing, but I ate NO sweets, breads, soda, coffee; basically I just ate fruit, veggies, whole grains, nuts, eggs and a smattering [...]

The Real Reason
I posted this picture last year with the story behind it here. I can’t resist reposting the pic. It’s my favorite, even though it was taken 10 years ago. Yes, the real reason for celebrating Christmas is JESUS. But the reason He came is US….for our salvation. I’m grateful and can’t stop thinking about what [...]

My mind-opened up for all to see.
Balance. I’ve been praying for it, searching for it. Especially as it pertains to the way I feel about the “H” word. But is balance a good thing? It occurred to me that it’s possible for balance to be the same as compromise. I don’t like that idea. Last month, I announced that I’m [...]

Don’t “miss out” on the dryer sheets tip
I want to write a blog post. I’ve got some swirling around in my head right now, or at least I did earlier when I was afc (away from computer). Right now I’m going to try and type without looking at the compyter. Head is back, eyes clsed. You see, my mind is working…tired, but [...]

C.A.R. time
I love to pray. What I don’t love is when my prayers turn into a laundry list of needs to God. OR when they are just reactions to something that just happened or something I said. (most often those are prayers for forgiveness O_o) So, how do you make it something different? I’ve heard lots [...]

The Art of Judging
I’m a judger. I don’t wanna be. But as I struggle to sort out my thoughts and feelings about certain things, then finally determine a stance on a certain issue, there is always going to be another side. If I’ve reasoned rationally, then I have decided NOT to choose one side for a really good [...]

My Eulogy-second attempt
So, what will they say about me when I’m gone? and when I say “they”, I mean my family, my friends, my kids, everyone. Wow, that’s an overwhelming thought. Maybe because they wouldn’t all say the same thing exactly. I don’t know how to start, so I’ll just start…probably in the middle. Cari’s not here [...]
