Reflections of a full-time Jesus follower
Good morning friends! As I’m sitting here enjoying a cup of coffee and some peace and quiet (much needed) on this beautiful Saturday morning, let me just say that it has been a week! And I mean a WEEK! I admit that I have felt a little like Jonah: “cast [me] into the deep, into […]
I’ve mentioned before that I’m a school teacher. As this summer rapidly comes to a close, I’ve been thinking of many of the workshops and training sessions the faculty members at my school will be required to participate in when we return to our school buildings. Several of these trainings and workshops will focus on […]
Ever go through one of those seasons in life where there just don’t seem to be enough hours in the day, enough days in the week? That’s been the story of my life for the past few weeks….hence little blogging. But here I am, ready to share something God has been speaking to me, something […]

From Creation to the Resurrection, life is proclaimed…life in God and life with God. Eternal life. In between those same two monuments, love is […]
My Bible reading this week has me in the Gospel of Luke. Today, specifically, I’ve walked alongside Jesus as He healed the centurion’s servant and marveled at the centurion’s faith. I watched in awe as Jesus raised a beloved son in Nain, restoring a young man to his widowed mother. Then I scratched my head […]
Since coming to know Christ when I was a teenager, I have learned that my relationship with my Savior is built on the law of exchange. Let me explain…starting with a brief science lesson. In the scientific arena, alchemy was “the medieval forerunner of chemistry, based on the supposed transformation of matter. It was concerned […]
And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” (Matthew 8:2) I’m going to be one of those super geeky English teachers right now and say that I love words….I love the sound of them, the look of them, everything about them! Clearly, teaching English was […]
I do not like to lose. Period. At anything. Ever. I am the first to admit that I might have a problem. Growing up, I learned my competitive tendencies directly from my dad. He was a man who hated to lose. Horse shoes, darts, cards….whatever the game, my dad would practice each until he felt […]
