I am on Chapter 4 of The Art of Loving God, a book I’ve wanted to write for twenty years but wasn’t ready. Not sure I can begin to do the topic justice, but I am enjoying the attempt. It amazes me how God confirms us along our way. I just wrote about how we…

Our hearts are like horses that run wherever they please, but when our hearts find God’s heart, well, think of two horses running and frolicking on the beach.

Treasures of Earth Don’t Compare to God’s Treasures
Last week I vacationed at the beach in South Carolina. Looking down from an eighth floor condo at the ocean, I noticed a guy with a metal detector on the shore looking for buried treasures. He stepped slowly, methodically swinging his contraption back and forth in front of him, his head cast downward, eyes fixed…

God made us in his image and we can rise up with the Light of Heaven and be creative, intentional, and passionate in all we do. Remember what Jesus said about the Ten Virgins? “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now…

We western Christians, especially in America, are practical, dress comfortable, and speak directly…
Read moreWhat Delights God the Most?
I am writing COME AND SEE and decided this last chapter might make a good blog. My last blog is like this one; I am still thinking about how much David and Peter’s heart affected God. This chapter, while following the chronology of events in the Bible, mirrors the same theme. Hope you enjoy. If…
Read moreIt’s Something Only God Sees
“I had always felt life first as a story—and if there is a story there is a storyteller.” G.K. Chesterton. We are characters living out subplots, our life-stories, within God’s Story. I began this morning considering Simon Peter and King David. Their stories are alike. David lived before Christ’s time, Peter lived during and after…

At first sight, Miriam shares her joy . . . I loved Yeshua so much I cried. He was mine. He came from God, and he was mine. I studied his fingernails, each one so tiny and delicate. I marveled at his eyelashes, so beautiful against his face. His nose, his chin, everything about him…
