My wife likes to rearrange the house. Every time she does we find things underneath the couch. Not just toys and things the kids slide under there and forget about. But I mean nasty stuff. The reason is because we don’t clean under there. No one sees it, so why bother. The only time it … More What’s Under Your Couch?
God asks an interesting question of Adam and Eve in the garden. After they had eaten the fruit and chosen their own path, God asks them, “Where are you?” I don’t think God was playing hide-n-seek with them. I don’t think his question had anything to do with their physical location. Instead, he was asking … More Where Are You?
We all have those things that renew us. Those things that fill up our spirits and give us energy. And we all have those things that drain us and deplete our energies. It is so important to know where you get each. Because if we find ourselves doing more of the things that deplete us … More Where Do You Find Rejuvenation?
I have always found it interesting when God tells the people to stop whatever they are doing and asks them to build an altar. It makes me wonder “Why Altar’s?” It seems funny to me that God would want to look at a pile of rocks, as if He had nothing better to do. But … More Why Altar’s?
I have been thinking about what can happen in our suffering. Many times it is in our pain that we find ourselves, but even more importantly it is in our pain that God finds us. Notice I didn’t say “where we find God”. Not that we don’t find God in our pain. But all too … More Where The Spirit Enters
We seem to live in a generation that is once again taking hold of the idea of having a creative mind. I know living in New Zealand, this society wants all people, especially the young, to learn to think for themselves and to see that nothing is impossible with a little imagination. Children have a … More Imagine The Unimagined
There is this interesting story in the Bible about a man named Daniel. Daniel is captive and works for the King of the Medes (long story), named Darius. Long story short, a law is passed that no person should be found praying to anyone or anything other than the king or they will be killed. … More Open Windows
I sometimes can get to a point I think I am so busy that I can’t think straight. Then it gets to a point where I can’t get anything done, because I feel like I have too much to do. The problem is I’m not always sure I’m as busy as I think I am. … More Busy Being Busy
Is it just me or are we living in an age of remakes? It seems like everything is just a remake of something else. We are remaking songs (and call it original because we change the tune). We are remaking movies (and just say we are updating the story or the effects). What happened to … More Age of Unoriginality
How do you begin to write a letter to the person that completely changed your life? How do you find the words to describe your perfect match? I can only imagine that the scene in heaven went something like this: Angel #1: Well God, we have this guy named Justin coming into existence soon. Angel … More Letter To My Wife
