I serve in the children's ministry, so I will not be able to participate in the discussion. However, I have learned much… Continue reading Resigning from Doubt to Walk in the River of His Love

“Kicking against the pricks” has taken on a new meaning for me.  A quick snap and we are broken, yet it can take weeks, months and years to heal.  A harsh word spoken in haste can do damage that takes years to overcome, to restore trust, and to return to full fellowship. We are called… Continue reading Resigning to Waiting on the Lord’s Timing… Lessons in Healing

Running out of Steam

This heating is sucking the life out of me... or maybe it's the fact that I worked harder than usual at getting my exercise game on... or maybe it's the fact that I still have not worked out my sleep patterns.

Resigning my control of the Agency of others

I think I'm on to something. All these years I needed to resign as the self-imposed General Manager of the Universe.
