I’ve always found it difficult to relax. Sure, I can lay back and doze off, but taking a nap is both cheating and unfulfilling since I’m unconscious during it. I’ve never been one to meditate either, since my mind never stops moving. What’s bothersome is that the movement is aimless, not a useful kind ofContinue reading “Relaxation: What is it? Part 1”

Flexibility
I didn’t think of myself as uptight. I didn’t think of myself as perfectionist. I can point to my living space as proof against it: I don’t care about crooked pictures, crumbs on the floor, or dust on the decor. But as I look around the apartment, I see that the imperfections are skin deep,Continue reading “Flexibility”
Hyperconquerors
In the eternal game of good versus evil, Jesus has curb stomped satan. Our side is so ahead, we are playing from a place of victory—we have the guaranteed win because this late in the game, there’s no way the enemy could ever score enough to catch up. The enemy just tries to do asContinue reading “Hyperconquerors”

For instance, I have a job interview in a few weeks for what on the surface seems like a better job. ButContinue reading “It’s Been a While”
End-of-the-World-osis
Something that turns off non-Christians is our obsession with the end of the world and our getting to heaven. Non-Christians see the here and now, the decaying environment, the political corruption, the wars, famines, injustices, and natural disasters. But we’re focused on who the Antichrist will be, or when we’ll be taken away from allContinue reading “End-of-the-World-osis”
Thoughts on Psalm 13
“O Lord, how long will you forget me? Forever? How long will you look the other way?”Psalms 13:1 NLT At times we can feel God has abandoned us to the wolves. Maybe we feel we’re unworthy of His love and protection. Maybe we feel so insignificant to not warrant His notice. Or maybe we feelContinue reading “Thoughts on Psalm 13”
