My Nineveh?

Some would call it ‘chance’, some luck… but I know the Lord has led me to every job I’ve ever had.

Starting with my first babysitting job to my current position I can trace the path. It’s rather amazing to see the puzzle fitting together. And now I’m waiting for another piece.

You see, I don’t know what my Nineveh might be, but apparently, like Jonah I am going to find out sooner rather than later.

We learn about Jonah because he chose to ignore the will of God. He was

It’s all about me

Yes, sometimes I use that statement as a joke. “Learn that now and it will serve you well in the future.” If true, the world would be in a sad, sad place. While I do think I can be pretty darn interesting, there must be more to this life than just me. Because one day, all that is ‘me’ will be gone.

A few years ago I attended the ACMC conference. One of the seminars was on “Cat & Dog Theology“. It hit me so square on the forehead that 2 thoughts immediately struck me.

1. This is SO me

Cures for Cancer: Part 1

Some have asked “Why do ‘bad’ things happen to seemingly good people?” And I have no true answer.

But I know God has given each of us the strength to fight, the joy of living in the ‘now’ and a hope for the future. (Jeremiah 29:11) He has strengthened our relationships, encouraged our devotion to Him and given us ways to

Who I am Hates Who I’ve Been: Part 2

Who I am is so much more than who I was… and I’m trying to change that fact. Ok, maybe that was too cryptic. Here’s what I need people. This is what I lack. Motivation! Yes, good old fashioned ‘get up and go’.

“What!?” you say, “No, not you!” Alas, you are wrong. There are so many things which I can bring myself to become ‘self-motivated’ about… yet getting in shape is not one of them.

For a while I was doing very well. My friend was my trainer. He pushed & I complained, loudly, but I did it and my body showed the results. I had ‘guns’ and my legs were getting nicely defined. I left his gym
