Going to Eden
Adam and Eve had it made…they had the perfect life. They walked with God, they saw Him, and He gave them everything they could ever want or need. Want. Or need. They had the perfect love. They experienced God’s love, and loved one another. Their love was full, satisfying, and not marred by selfishness, greed, [...]
Book Review: Bound for Glory
Bound for Glory: Celebrating the Gift of African American Spirituals through Expressive Calligraphy By Timothy R Botts I love music, and meaningful songs. The LORD has oftentimes used music to draw me to Himself, to reassure my soul of deep truths, to grant me joy or peace during life’s chaos. So naturally, I jumped at [...]
Seeing Jesus
As is usually the case, upon hearing something with which I cannot agree I spent the better part of two weeks fighting the pendulum swing to the other extreme. It was an extreme, I now know, that my soul was wrestling with. Thankfully, God delights to have patience with me, and teach me, and remind [...]

Meditations for Advent

There is only one being in all the world who is “self defining” and that is God. You and I struggle in this world trying to “define” ourselves apart from our creator, and to define our creator in light of our struggles. Our struggles may seem tantamount, and consume us; and suddenly the “god” we [...]
Refreshing Sleep
Having lived the past few months in a sleep-deprived state, I have come to enjoy and appreciate the beauty of the rhythm of day and night, sleep and wakefulness, and the quality of life that accompanies this rhythm. No one can prepare a woman for how the first several weeks of motherhood will deprive her [...]
As children
I spent some time pondering Ephesians five the other day, and kept going back to verses one and two. Paul is teaching something Christ had already taught, both in word and in deed. John 5:19, Jesus explains that He does not do anything unless He sees the Father doing it–and whatever He sees His Father [...]
Clothing
I was struck recently, while meandering through one of my favorite books, with two concepts juxtaposed as complete opposites: being under the Law as a tutor, and being clothed with Christ. This was the first time the idea of being clothed with Christ found in the book of Galatians made me pause for days. A [...]
