Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom (Psalm 90:12). For those who read my last post, I ended with a reference to this verse. God keeps bringing it back to mind. There are about 1,000 applications of this to my life, maybe yours too. Whatever the meaning God … Continue reading Numbering Our Days: A Hike with Jason and Jesus
Ever been asked a question that pushes you into the deep? It was an innocent enough question. It just poked me in a tender place. In a class I am taking, the professor asked, Who are your mentors in the faith?

Facebook and news reporters continue to spew their own spin on social … Continue reading This is the Way, Walk in It
We have all been there. We have gripped our knuckles tightly around that thing in our life that is unpredictable.

When you connect with other believers on social media, you anticipate finding God. When you blog or video about God, you … Continue reading Anti-Social Media
Over the weekend, my heart of prayer was full. As I hear requests, I collect burdens and store them in a secret place … until the time comes to be ever so still and seek My Lord: Listen, God! Please pay attention. Can You make sense of these ramblings, my groans and cries? King-God, I … Continue reading A Vision and an Assignment; will you join me?

From now on all generations will call me blessed for the Mighty One has done great things for me … holy is His name (Luke 1:46-49). Before … Continue reading A Prayer to Begin the New Week
Can you remember when one week felt like an eternity? Maybe that’s age 5 until about 10? I remember when our boys were younger, old enough to voice their desires. I would choose not to tell them in the morning if I had an activity planned for them in the afternoon because the minutes would … Continue reading One Week Until Good Friday
In case you haven’t heard, honoring Jesus during this holy season is not canceled. In fact, the Lion who overcame the world is laying low these next several days. But He will rise.
