Wow, was I wrong!

I’m going to say three words that are not always easy to say. At least, they aren’t easy for me to say because I’d much rather choose to move pass the acknowledgement of this at all. Really just ignoring it all together. Maybe it’s pride. Maybe it’s shame. But here they are, those three words. I was wrong. Dear God, was I wrong! I was wrong about God. Not in the sense that He has not proven to be the true, almighty, living God. I was wrong about what He wanted from me. My relationship with God was based on...
Somewhere in the Middle
I was recently asked how I would describe the season I was in and at the time I really didn’t know how to respond. At the time I just felt like I was in the middle of two seasons. I mean, here I am several months out from experiencing God’s favor and blessings in finding a house to make a home in a real estate climate that still is in frenzy.

Let’s see, the last time I wrote I was pondering if there was a point to addressing sin. A couple of readers responded with comments. I took some time to reflect, pause, reflect again, and more time staring at my screen wondering how much I should say and how much I should keep to myself. Here I am, typing…FINALLY posting this entry. Let’s rewind for a minute and let me explain with a little backstory about myself. So, the thing is, I have attended church since I was inside my mother’s womb. If you didn’t know already, my father was...
