so here is another thought to ponder and i am still chewing on it.
God designed us to carry Him in the form of our seal, the Holy Spirit. we have heard the scriptures about being a temple of God, being filled with the Holy Spirit, etc. this is nothing we haven’t heard. something i [...]

so i got a very cool anniv. gift (a week early i might add – no forgetfulness here) – i got an otterbox for a nano! for those of you who were like me a few weeks ago and wondering – what is an otterbox – simply put, it clam shells your ipod rendering it [...]

so, i think God is really trying to hammer home to me this message of doing vs. being. the quote in the title of this post was from rob bell’s talk in nashville. my jaw dropped when i heard it and said to God – “okay God, i am trying to wrap my brain around [...]

last night, several from our church traveled the three hours to nashville to hear rob bell speak on his “everything is spiritual” tour. for someone immersed in science every day, to hear teaching on creation and how it is spiritual is uplifting to my every day studies. once again, i am awed by my lack [...]

i laughed last night as i curled up into bed at how wonderful the feel of t-shirt sheets feel against my skin. they are wonderful! i will probably never know (and kinda hope i stay simple and don’t ever know) what 1100 thread count sheets feel like. i could never bring myself to pay that [...]

a theme with me, recently, has been this idea of love. it seems like it should be a really simple concept, but it really isn’t for me.
it started when i found a verse in 1 timothy 1 ” The whole point of what we’re urging is simply love – love uncontaminated by self-interest and counterfeit [...]

not the cake song, the story in the n.t. where the bleeding woman grabs on to Christ for healing. something i didn’t pick up on before (because i don’t know scripture like i should) is the faith she had in the act of doing that. in malachi, the prophet fortells that the Messiah will have [...]

this is the way one of my friends signs his emails. it makes me think of a quote i heard while listening to a rob bell sermon on my ipod (side note – when you listen to a sermon on your ipod, be careful. i was listening and then had to walk through a hospital [...]
