10 Things That Made Me Smile or Shout This Week

I’m at Starbucks, and 6 of us are on laptops using WiFi all at the same time (smile). The seniors sitting beside me can’t get over it.
Someone I shared the gospel with recently got THOROUGHLY saved this week (SHOUT!), and is already sharing Christ with his friends.
My teenage daughter hugged me in front of all [...]

Twenty Questions

Questions are one of my favourite things. Here are twenty questions I’ve been asked this week….

“Do you love me?” (my daughter)
“Where do the Jews fit in God’s plan?” (a good friend)
“When someone gets sick or dies, is it because there is sin in their life?” (a friend in our small group)
“Can you spare some change?” [...]

Rather than criticizing them, we ought [...]

The Power of a Good Team

Just shared a laugh with Phil, our youth director. He was bragging about his team, and here’s what he said: “Our team is so awesome. It’s like Noemie gets all these great ideas, Corinne makes things happen, and I make it known.” My comment was that’s just like God – the Father gets a great [...]

My Confession: I’m a Blogging Hypocrite

Well, you’ll be relieved to know I’m still alive! I haven’t blogged or tweeted, or facebooked in ages. To be honest, I don’t even want to right now, but I just had some guilt pangs come on when I read my own words in this interview with my good friend Craig Littlejohn at Faith Highway. [...]

Your Personal Pendulum

All of us have a personal pendulum. It’s the part of you that God created to freak out and run the other way when something bad happens. Time has the same effect on your pendulum that gravity does on the one pictured here. As we mature, we’re supposed to become less extreme, more steady, less [...]
