How Human I Find Myself

 My wife a bought a 50 lb sack of bird seed   and it was in the back of the car. I had the opportunity so I went outside and opened the trunk, and without thinking, put the bag of seed on my shoulder and walked  in the house and right up the stairs.  It wasn't  until I was putting the seed in the storage container  that I realized what I had done.  Without thinking, I just assumed and walked up the stairs with a bag of feed on my shoulder - the same stairs that. Not many days ago,  empty-handed it was a struggle on an injured knee one  step at a time,   just  get up those stairs.  Amazing how quickly I can start taking God's healing, God's blessing for granted so quickly.  How human I find myself.

That’s when He come up from out of the ground and come alive for us.” I couldn’t have summed it up any better. I had no idea she had such a vision of the gospel experience. It made my heart glad, not just for her but in knowing there are probably countless other little children who have ...

Inspiration

Inspiration can be for all of us who hide behind our list of excuses. Inspiration can call us out from under the rock we have felt comfortable hiding under. Inspiration can change people and the direction of their lives. Really? Can we be sure? Seriously, can people really be inspired? Isn't inspiration a form of judging in that we are making an the assumption that our way is the best way? and it would be better for that person to become inspired to change? Is the motive for inspiration a concealed form of ego; that is, trying to inspire people to be more like us? No, no - I don't want to inspire people to be more like me. I would have them be more like Jesus: I am not the model, the pattern to follow, not me, an old sinner saved by grace. But, I have found the missing coin, the Pearl of Great Price, and want to share it, not because I am judging but because I know it is a better way, the better way, for me, for anyone. This direction, this journey is not ...
