Reflections on life and faith. Saturday, December 31, 2016. Teach us to number our days aright that we might gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12.

Reflections on life and faith. Wednesday, January 4, 2017. Have we become so deaf. To the voice that whispered us into being. That we can no longer hear anything. But the incessant noise of our own inner dialogue. Is our hearing like any other bodily function. That must be regularly exercised over time. Lest the muscles atrophy and decay to the point.

Reflections on life and faith. Monday, January 2, 2017. God is doing a new thing. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? The life of faith is not only about what God. Done—although that is certainly important—or even about what he. Do, for that matter. Isaiah is very clear to tell us that it is about what God. Doing; that’s what he is calling us to pay particular attention to. God is always up to something. The real question is: Do we really believe it’s true?

Reflections on life and faith. Sunday, January 29, 2017. Each with its own beauty and design that must be embraced and entered into, rather than denied, avoided, or resisted. I guess that's why Solomon wrote: "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.". Ecclesiastes 3:1) And it is not until we recognize and embrace these seasons that we begin to discover that, he has, indeed, " made everything beautiful in its time.
