3:265 – God’s Law or Man’s Law? #faithbites #faithjourney law Setting My heart hurts as an American Christian. I know what the bible says and I know that our laws don’t match. I also know that we have no national religion and have many brothers and sisters from all walks of life. Heck, even if we were a national Christian […]
3:261 – I Don’t Understand #faithbites #faithjourney understand There are many things in life I don’t understand. For instance, I was facilitating a case on women’s health for work. I don’t know what it’s like to be a woman. I can’t relate. Likewise, I don’t know what it’s like to be black on America. The only thing I do understand […]
3:259 – BEING Naked Before God #faithbites #faithjourney naked #BEINGChallenge Setting I got out of the shower this morning and looked at my clothes on the bed. Underwear, shorts, undershirt, shirt. If it was colder there would have been socks and a jacket. So many different items to wear so that I’m not naked. And I’m not even counting a […]
3:257 – Let’s Get Started #faithbites #faithjourney started #BEINGChallenge Setting I don’t know about you, but I’m always excited to start something new. I may be a bit nervous but I am always excited. Our church is about to being a 40 day deep dive by completing the #BEINGChallenge. This is similiar to the #RedLetterChallenge we did last year, where […]
3:246 – Don’t Be Afraid Of Saying The Wrong Word #faithbites #faithjourney afraid Setting In the past week I have been involved in many tricky sensitive conversations. In each of these, I say people tiptoing around words or not saying a word as it may be the wrong one. It’s ok to make a mistake. Words matter and saying the […]
3:246 – Giants or Windmills? #faithbites #faithjourney giants Setting Lately the song, Man of La Mancha, has been going through my head. It’s the main song from the musical Man of La Mancha which is based on the novel, “Don Quixote”, by Miguel de Cervantes. The book is about a nobelman, Hidalgo, who goes on an epic quest for his […]
3:232 – Every New Beginning #faithbites #faithjourney new Setting As we left our first-grade orientation, my youngest told me again that she was nervous. We talked about it and while she was excited, she was nervous as to what to expect. There wouldn’t be any more rest time, more homework, and more change. A new beginning. At work, we are […]
3:230 – Is Your But Getting In the Way? #faithbites #faithjourney but Setting “I like this dinner, but the veggies are too salty”. “Our country is good but it has too many problems.”. “This movie was good but the lead actor can’t act.” “Daddy, I like this slushy but there is too much cherry to the coke” (Yes, that one […]
3:225 – Feeling Less Than #faithbites #faithjourney less Setting Today, I woke up early with a near panic attack. No trigger, no warning, just anxiety gone crazy. Took some meds and still wasn’t feeling like myself. I was less than normal, less than I wanted to be. Went through the day like that, still living life, being friendly, getting things […]
3:224 – Pray For Our Leaders #faithbites #faithjourney leaders Setting Being a letter isn’t easy. You may voluntarily take the job but doing it is not voluntary. Then no matter what you chose there will be people who like your style and people who hate it. People who applaud your decisions and people who hate them. I’ll admit, I’m hypercritical […]
