Check's In The Mail! There was a time in my life, after I'd started a new job, that I wasn't getting paid. One week, then two went by without pay. By week three, I was making calls. You'll have to wait for the second pay cycle. Week four rolled around, and I was desperate for cash. The... Continue Reading →
From Inside The Fish Have you ever felt like you were inside the fish? Like, whatever hole you were in was so deep, it had swallowed you up completely. The lights are out, your head is wrapped in seaweed, and you’re swimming around in pre-vomit? That’s where Jonah was because he had gotten God’s call... Continue Reading →
Grace Period Life We've all been there. Missed a due date, and now we are in the grace period. Hopefully, it doesn't happen often.

No Thanks; I'm Good Have you ever been hit by another test and wanted to say to God, No thanks; I'm good? I'm all tested out at the moment. Come back next week, next month, next lifetime. I know I have! It occurs to me, though, that testing is simply spiritual exercise. When I used to... Continue Reading →
Photographic Memory I've always thought it would bee cool to have a photographic memory. I imagine it's like a better version of how I remember things already. If i"ve learned it from a book, I imagine the page it's on and find it. If I've learned it through an experience, I replay it in my... Continue Reading →
Dirty Dishes There is something about dirty dishes in the sink that I find so discouraging. Last night I washed up all the dishes before I went to bed - no dishwasher here but these hands. I was glad it was done, I had cleaned the stovetop and oven and the table was clear. This... Continue Reading →
