picture from thefilmspectrum.com Day 1 - finished thoughts. I had a friend of mine comment yesterday with two, very insightful thoughts on truly following wherever Jesus may lead us. The first was the idea that we tend to limit God because we are unwilling to take risks, to dream big or maybe it's because we've never … Continue reading 40 Day Journey – with Dietrich Bonhoeffer – Day 1 finished

Life Lesson 2 – Serving continued
I ended the last post saying that Love was another component to serving others. I have not always had a desire to serve others. Actually, for most of my life, my desire was to see how I could get others to serve me. Ok, that was a little sobering to actually type out but being … Continue reading Life Lesson 2 – Serving continued
What is God’s Will for My Life?
I left off the last post with the question, What is God's Will for My Life? You here this question or statement a lot while hanging out with Christians, usually something like - "if you could pray for me, I am praying that I would do God's will". Or maybe you hear - "I feel … Continue reading What is God’s Will for My Life?
People are just people – 11/8/12
As we got into the teaching time with the students, you could sense their excitement in having new people come to share with them. As I looked around the room, all of them had their bibles out and were on the front edge of their seats and all eyes looking forward. Initially I was nervous … Continue reading People are just people – 11/8/12

A Study of Joseph – parallels of Jesus and Joseph
I know the last post was a bit lengthy so I will try and keep this a bit shorter. Here are some more comparisons between Joseph's and Jesus' lives. The first is the exaltation of the two. For Joseph, enslaved, then imprisoned for false charges brought against him had to endure a heavy price by … Continue reading A Study of Joseph – parallels of Jesus and Joseph
A Study of Joseph – Joseph/Jesus parallels continued
As we look further into the parallels between the lives of Joseph and Jesus, I am continually amazed at how Joseph maintains his faith and trust in God. Unlike Jesus, who knew how the events of His earthly life would unfold, Joseph simply trusted God and faithfully served, no matter his circumstances. How different would … Continue reading A Study of Joseph – Joseph/Jesus parallels continued
