My Ring Fits [Mth 1-Day 15-Post 6]

Two days ago I was cleaning off the kitchen table when all of a sudden, my wedding band flew off my left hand. Actually, it wasn’t my wedding band; it was Alex’s original one. He now wears one with three tiny diamonds that I bought him after our first daughter was born. And I have … Continue reading *My* Ring Fits [Mth 1-Day 15-Post 6]

Let’s Make Some Room [Mth 1-Day 14-Post 5]

I sat in a dorm room, a freshman in college, having a deep spiritual conversation with a senior. There were many nights just like that one that year. “Bill” and I had a lot in common, so as a baby Christian, I felt I could ask him all my questions—and there certainly were a lot! … Continue reading Let’s Make Some Room [Mth 1-Day 14-Post 5]

To Win! [Mth 1-Day 6-Post 3]

In my studies this week, I read about how God had to go ahead of Jonah to prepare the hearts of the Ninevites to receive the Word of the Lord. Two plagues ravaged their home, and then God orchestrated their view of a total eclipse of the sun soon after. These events struck fear into … Continue reading To Win! [Mth 1-Day 6-Post 3]

This week God has just blown me away with His leading. It’s amazing how involved He can be in your life if you want Him to be! Dozens of “God-incidences” have filled each of the last four days, and this project has only just begun!

Month 1, Day 1, Post 1

I was going to just go to bed, but my spirit is wearier of keeping in the awesome testimony I already have in beginning this project today than my body is. I am not doing this "70 in 7" project alone; I have at least one partner, who I will call "H," and hope to … Continue reading Month 1, Day 1, Post 1

The “70 in 7” Project Introduction

Addictions come in every form you can imagine. Anything, whether physical or abstract, can become an addiction. And every addiction is a form of idolatry in the eyes of the Lord, who requires us to worship only Him. Over the years I have battled many different kinds of addictions, but one constant addiction has been … Continue reading The “70 in 7” Project Introduction

“…Anything that Offends…”

"Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life" (Ps. 139:23-24, NLT). In my 34.5 years, I have struggled with one thing more than any other: Discipline. In every aspect you can … Continue reading “…Anything that Offends…”
