As the excitement of Christmas fades and the New Year dawns, our attention is turned toward the open chapter before us. We plan, set goals, and dream about the potential “better” of the months to come. Yet, despite our hopes and good intentions the truth is we have no idea what lies ahead. Perhaps thisContinue reading “The Source of Satisfaction”

The Word Became Flesh: A Christmas Poem
(John 1:1-14) Before time began he was. Eternal, uncreated, only begotten son of God, Jesus Christ, our Lord. From everlasting to everlasting he has been and will be. Creator of all, all was made by him and for him. Seated on his throne, he is the forever King. Eternal majesty and glory were his beforeContinue reading “The Word Became Flesh: A Christmas Poem “
Rich in Deed
This past June marked four years since the advent of my reading addiction. It began innocently enough with the goal of reading one book per month but this craze has now culminated to a point of madness. Case in point: I frequently find myself reading 3 (sometimes more!) books at a time and endlessly addingContinue reading “Rich in Deed”
Rich in Christ
Honest writer moment here: Aside from the typed title, I’ve been staring at this otherwise blank screen for the better part of an hour trying to decide where and how to start. I thought about leading with the story of how I saved my hard earned money to buy a $13 Mr. Potato Head whenContinue reading “Rich in Christ”
Dwelling Richly
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” Colossians 3:16 Sometimes I just try to let the first part of that verse sink in: Let the word of Christ dwell in youContinue reading “Dwelling Richly”
Rich Conversation
I’m going to be really honest: I’m writing this post as a challenge to myself. As an extroverted person, I love being around people and am always up for hanging out with my friends. However, I’m not always great with initiating conversation, usually preferring that others lead. When I do initiate, I tend to stickContinue reading “Rich Conversation”
Chasing Perfection
I can’t tell you how many times in the last few months the topic of perfectionism has come up in conversations with both my clients and friends. At least a dozen times I’ve thought, I need to write about this. So here it goes, my feeble attempt to touch on this difficult topic and toContinue reading “Chasing Perfection”
That We Should Suffer
“The problem with dogs is they do dog things.” This is a comical (and true!) saying from the father of one of my best friends. As a runner I’m not an overly huge fan of dogs and this statement perfectly sums up my thoughts regarding that species! Happily, on my morning run yesterday there wereContinue reading “That We Should Suffer”
The Goodness of the Hard
Today as my daughter neared the end of her 45 minute morning run she reported to me that she was, “hungry, thirsty, and sweaty.” Pedaling alongside her I answered back, “That’s a good way to be at the end of a run.” I found myself envious of her at that moment and thought to myself,Continue reading “The Goodness of the Hard”
Unpopular: Male and Female He Created Them
“Did God really say?” Oh, those four dreadful words; the catalyst for the fall of man and the demise of our society today. After all, isn’t that how all deception begins- with the questioning of the word of God? It seems our rebellious hearts just can’t accept that God meant what He said. We haveContinue reading “Unpopular: Male and Female He Created Them”
