He knows what He is about

      November 13th, 2008

God has created me to do Him some definite service. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him; in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him. He does nothing in vain. He knows what he is about. He may take away my friends, He may throw me among strangers. He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide my future from me — still He knows what He is about.

Fifty Thousand Shoes

      November 9th, 2008

True Confession: I have no style, only a love for comfort.

Jeans, sweatshirts, and old sneakers with fluffy socks are my idea of bliss. The idea of having to wear “nice” shoes for the office makes me sad. I have sneakers next to the front doorway, dress shoes sitting in my closet, and one slipper on the bedroom floor whose mate is currently being attacked by a cat in the kitchen.

I take my shoes for granted.

While most of the world doesn’t possess an adequate pairs of shoes, U.S. citizens have an abundance of footwear. Souls4Shoes is addressing that need with the 50,000 Pairs in 50 days Challenge where you can donate two pairs of shoes for $5! Stop reading this and go make a difference in the world!

Note to Self

      October 25th, 2008

Oh what joy for those whose rebellion is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight! Yes, what joy for those whose record the Lord has cleared of sin, whose lives are lives in complete honesty!

Psalm 32:1-2

The goal isn’t to be the person I want to be.
The goal is to become the person GOD wants me to be.
The cool part? My destiny is in His hands!






psalm 22:27-32

      October 15th, 2008

From the four corners of the earth people are coming to their senses, are running back to God. Long-lost families are falling on their faces before him. God has taken charge; from now on he has the last word.

All the power-mongers are before him —worshiping!
All the poor and powerless, too —worshiping!
Along with those who never got it together —worshiping!

Our children and their children will get in on this As the word is passed along from parent to child. Babies not yet conceived will hear the good news — that God does what he says.

Psalm 22:27-32 | The Message










    Welcome ...
    ... to my little corner of the internet. My blog's greatest asset is it’s auto-magically random randomness. A record of a few of my life observations, spiritual ponderings, and goofy anecdotes, I hope you find something that tickles or inspires you.

    I also hope you leave a comment because, heck yeah, they’re fun! For the record, I believe in God. While I am far from religious, I strive to be profoundly spiritual. And, uh, yeah … I fall down a lot!
