Digging for Love

As I started helping people in conflict work to reconcile, I knew what steps needed to be taken and what words and actions needed to appear in that process.  But getting to the place where “they” recognized what needed to be done with regard to their own contribution to the problems was the big obstacle

Are You an Intercessor?

Intercessor is kind of a big word that I just skipped on by not thinking I would ever need to know about it.   I thought it was something only a few folks were “called” to do.   But then a dear friend of mine who moved far away with his wife to be close to

The Best Bread Ever

Did your kids have a habit of saying “best ever”?  Like “best brownies ever” or “best vacation ever” or “best bike ever”?    I find myself in that groove, too.  Always searching for the “best ever” in recipes, fix-it’s, gifts, photos and family stories – whatever subject you name. And when I started eating gluten free,

Who Do You Trust?

Let’s go at this a bit differently, ok?  At first glance, when you see “who do you trust”, you may start searching through your list of “mom” “dad” “close friend” “attorney” etc., evaluating each one. But let me re-direct you for a moment.  Back to when someone you thought you could trust actually failed you.

Biblical HR

No—this is not an oxymoron!  And yes, the “HR” stands for Human Resources, as in the department in our organizations that handles the difficult personnel management issues. The book which inspired this blog is Biblical HR:  Applying Eternal Truths to Everyday Work by Brett Billups.  All I can say is you MUST buy this book

Who’s Your Reprover?

What the heck is a reprover? And why am I implying everyone needs one? Good questions – same ones I had as I read Brian Noble’s devotional from “Daily Wisdom for Peacemaking”.  His scripture from Proverbs seemed rather obscure to me: “Like a gold ring or an ornament of gold is a wise reprover to

How Now Shall We Live?

OK, New Year’s resolutions, and the month of January have passed.  More frequently this year I heard people saying they don’t even set those types of resolutions anymore — and certainly heard lots of speculation about the average amount of time a New Year’s resolution is actually kept. Sure enough, Mick at his blog at

Running Wild

Yep, this is the week to focus on SOUL work – and yep, “running wild” is addressed in the Bible.  Seriously. Why talk about this now?  You will never guess how this pairs up with all the “goal-setting” and resolutions and 2024 planning that is going on right now.  It certainly took me by surprise

Idols of Christmas

“Our society is as idolatrous as Paul’s was” says Henry Blackaby in his devotional written in 1998.     How could that be?  When I think of idols, I think of those statues and temples built in Biblical times.  Like the Golden Calf statue.  Remember?  Aaron claimed he threw the people’s gold “into the fire” and “out

The Best Gift

Blackaby’s devotional described exactly the kind of person I love to be around – “Some people know just what to say and do to encourage others who are going through difficult times.  Their words give strength to those who are discouraged and comfort to those who are grieving.  These people are sensitive to God’s voice.
