Hello there, fellow contender for the faith. May the richness of our heavenly Father’s love, grace and mercy flood your life this day and every tomorrow. Greetings and much love to you, wherever you are. My contending for the faith has, during my present sabbatical, taken on a much different look. Rather than the focus of my life being to …
Living Life on the Edge
Words are awesome, aren’t they? What a great idea God had, and how I long to do justice to the linguistic ability He gave us humans by becoming more articulate and more precise in my communication and stuff, like, you know. Of course, the world is designed to distort our usage of words. People are often too vague, like the …
Living In the Yes
Make the Choice to Rejoice Do you think that people who know you would describe you as a joyful person? I guess you could answer that question by thinking about what joy is and whether or not you show it. I assert that laughter is a sound of joy, so another way to measure your joy is by how much …
Life is a Contact Sport
There are some people on the sidewalk you don’t even notice, no matter which direction they are going. Then there are those who are stopped (maybe window shopping, out of breath, sprained ankle, lost, bending over tying a shoe) and you run into or over them, giving you the opportunity to account to them and ask for forgiveness, depending upon …
Jolly Beggars Descending to Power
Hello there, fellow contender for the faith. Happy Holidays! I guess “holiday” is a contraction of “holy day,” and that got me thinking that for each of us as Christians, every day is a holy day. I guess that means we can think of every day as a “holiday,” but perhaps we should clarify that before you take it too …
Growth vs. Comfort
Hello there, fellow contender for the faith that has been entrusted to us. What a privilege we have to know, and share, and live such magnificent truth from God’s precious Word. It is a joy and a privilege to be back with you here via the printed page, and I pray that my words will touch your heart. When I …
Growing Up Again
YES-S-S!!! It’s SPRING! Finally. OK, if you live in Florida or California or Arizona, you’re yawning and saying, “Big deal.” But if you have endured a winter like we have here in Indiana where the ground has been white for weeks, the advent of warmer temperatures, green grass, flowers, and leaves is incredibly refreshing. New life, or, at least, rejuvenated …
Getting in Touch with Jesus
Hi there, dear Contender for the faith. It is once again a joy to communicate with you, and I pray that my words will be a blessing to your life. Hey, it’s Summer! This was always my favorite time of the year, in large part because school never much arrested my attention, and I longed for the last day each …
Do What You Can
Well, here we are in 2003! Can you believe it? Actually, yes, because time has an inexorable way of confronting us with reality, no matter how hard we sometimes try to deny it. Think about it: “Y2K” is a distant memory (unless one is still eating up leftover survival cheese), there is now blue Pepsi®, Calvin & Hobbes are gone, …
Care-less and Care-full
God bless your heart, and welcome to the first “On The Edge” column, which will be a regular feature. It is a joy and privilege for me to have this forum to share my heart with you. It’s also good discipline for me to have to produce something remotely coherent every 60 days. And I may even learn more about this …
