As I have sorely neglected updating this blog, I will post my random, disconnected thoughts about God that I have had in the past couple of weeks or so. Enjoy. “We are the children of your mystical union, to share in the goodness of your love.” “You are my anchor, my axis mundi, and around [...]

Genesis 18:16-33

Because a good Bible study (and the time spent writing it up for a friend) shouldn’t go to waste: Passage: Genesis 18:16-33 (you should re-read it!) Why did God feel the need to tell Abraham about what would happen to Sodom and Gomorrah? I believe there’s a sense in which Abraham’s chosenness has now affected [...]

I am back home again. Currently, I’m in the process of sifting through my things, putting some stuff into bags for Goodwill. 3 bags so far and more to go. Gosh, I think I come from a family of packrats. We have so many trinkets and stuff we never use that’s cluttering up the house. [...]

I cannot believe that in a week, I will be moving out of Upland and going back home. It’s crazy to think about how quickly this summer has gone in some respects. I feel like so much has happened… this whole year in general. I’m not sure how to make sense of it all. Maybe [...]
lesson from a relentless God

While packing away some of my things in preparation for the upcoming fall, I ran across some things that I had not looked at in a while. Old letters, pictures, etc. Usually, these sorts of things bring out the sentimental side of people. Everybody loves to reminisce and think about all the fun times that [...]
the presence of God

I should start making it a habit to write while I’m inspired. But in those moments, I’m always doing something else and forget entirely. God continues to speak to me in strange ways. Through a word of a friend, through the pages of a book, through a sudden quieting of my heart, through pleasant and [...]
the lone path we tread

The turmoil of my heart can only be met by the faithful love of my Father. In him is my answer, an answer that is more profound that speech conveys, for what can capture its fullness? If I were to pray, “Lord, give me peace,” he would give it in abundance. If I were to [...]
sacred belonging

In the midst of the rush of life, it’s so easy to disconnect. In those moments of buisiness, in the new and exciting, the tendency is to focus on what is ahead. And yet, how often we miss what is in front. The presence of God is in our midst, and yet we look past [...]
God reaches to his beloved

God is continuing to move in my heart. And I am continually blown away by his persistence in pursuing me. He calls me with love when I stray and turn cold against him, and he shows me continued, steadfast love as I run back into his arms. It’s odd that in this time of alienation [...]

To the One who created the heavens and the earth To the One who is holy, pure, without blemish To the One who does not change like shifting shadows To the One who is without limit or end To the One who is light and love To the One who is just and judges accordingly [...]
