While most of us will not face the extreme, we will all face some form of unfairness (by the way we label unfairness) in the coming week. The big question is, how will we respond when it happens? What habits will we build in the small areas of mistreatment to keep our hearts in a good place, a place of blessing? It helps e...

Just my thoughts on life and the hope I have in Jesus Christ. Life can get you down, but God can bring you up! Sunday, November 2, 2014. What is stopping you from answering the call? When it comes to God's call on our lives, we have a pretty stock set of excuses why we can't respond the way we know we should. "I don't think I can do that," "I don't want to do that," "I'm afraid of what it would look like if I answer God's call," and even "I'm a Christian, isn't that good enough? But what comes next?

Just my thoughts on life and the hope I have in Jesus Christ. Life can get you down, but God can bring you up! Monday, October 14, 2013. Fixing what ails you. Sometimes, in the Christian life, it is easy to get confused. I read my Bible. I see something wrong in my life. I try to make the wrong thing look like what I see in God's Word. It would be nice if that worked, but most of the time, it ends up with frustration and guilt when I try it that way. Have a blessed day! Kevin and Jennifer Hadley. Kevin a...

Having talked with several parents who have lost children through the years, adult children and young children, I am told it is about the worst form of loss a person can experience. Why does it hurt so bad? I'm guessing that you have already figured out where in the Bible we will find the answer to this lemon as Job suffere...

Moving on up!: Rebellious Children
http://niobian.blogspot.com/2014/12/rebellious-children.html
Just my thoughts on life and the hope I have in Jesus Christ. Life can get you down, but God can bring you up! Saturday, December 20, 2014. But what about us? Good, Christian us. We thank the Lord for our food. We know how to look up a verse in the Bible, maybe even can recite the books of the Bible in order. We pray for other people, we give money to the church, we put in our time being Christians. Certainly we wouldn't be labeled as rebellious! Right, me too. It makes me wonder if the same blindness im...

Yes, I know that a blog is for words. But this blog post is going to be less about written words. In thinking through the grieving process and what the Bible has to say about it, I shared yesterday three ways that the truth of the Bible needs to impact our grieving / suffering. 1) Truth needs to define our suffering.

Moving on up!: The greatest gift in sorrow - permission to grieve
http://niobian.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-greatest-gift-in-sorrow-permission.html
Just my thoughts on life and the hope I have in Jesus Christ. Life can get you down, but God can bring you up! Friday, March 6, 2015. The greatest gift in sorrow - permission to grieve. Our week has had its share of ups and downs. The downs center around the loss of our unborn baby. The ups have been much more varied:. God's love and goodness have been repeated ups. The love and kindnesses expressed by friends and family in word and deed. Seeing God's hand at work. Some 'down time' to spend together.

Moving on up!: Miscarriage: On the loss of a child. . .

Just my thoughts on life and the hope I have in Jesus Christ. Life can get you down, but God can bring you up! Thursday, March 5, 2015. Miscarriage: On the loss of a child. . . I have been tempted to write a post since yesterday, but keep procrastinating as I am out of the blogging rhythm. The theme of my blog has echoed in the circumstances of our lives this week, and it was only a matter of time before the post was written. Would we have a funeral? Did we want to bury our child? 3) All life is precious.
