3:193 – Is Anybody out there? #faithbites #faithjourney anybody Setting Do you ever wonder if anyone is listening to you when you speak or post on social media? Are you like me looking for the like or the comment? Sometimes when I comment or even when I write #faithbites, I wonder if anybody is out there. I know people tell […]
3:183 – Are You Feeling A Little Wonky? #faithbites #faithjourney wonky The word “Wonky” has been in my head last since last nice as in “I’m feeling a little wonky”. If you aren’t familiar with the term, it originates from England and as an adjective means unsteady, shaky, awry, wrong. If you want a funny story, you can read the […]
3:179 – A Dog With A Bone #faithbites #faithjourney dog Have you ever heard the phrase that someone is like a dog with a bone? In most cases, it’s not a compliment. I’m the proverbial dog. When I get my mind set on something, it’s hard to let it go. Be mask wearing, gaming, politics, or any of a slew […]
3:177 – Let Them Eat Cake #faithbites #faithjourney cake Setting This morning while running errands, I ran into an old friend and his daughter who now live out of state. During our conversation, his daughter told me she was going to make dinner for her grandmother’s birthday and her grandfather was providing the cake. While it was great to see […]
3:170 – One More Time With Feeling #faithbites #faithjourney feeling I’m sitting here listening to my youngest playing with the dog as the rain and storms roll in. I’m wondering if I will remember this night in a few months or years. The things we did during the day, the food we ate, the arguments we had, and the fun […]
3:132 – It’s a Conspiracy #faithbites #faithjourney conspiracy Sometimes when I think about what to write in #faithbites, I just google a term. Today I googled “scripture conspiracy theory” and found not only crazy theories about the Bible, but one scripture that specifically calls out conspiracy theories: Isaiah 8:12. These theories why they seem crazy to some of us, give […]
3:124 – No Internet! Send Help! #faithbites #faithjourney Internet It’s been close to 36 hours without internet in the house. No tablets, no streaming music, no Alexa turning on the fan, no nothing. The natives are getting restless. (Yes, we have it in our phones but it’s not the same). Dad, there is nothing to do. After I suggest toys, […]
3:105 – Just Hang In There #faithbites #faithjourney hang Some days you just need to hang in there. For instance, I tried to do a video #faithbite and it was constantly interrupted by the dog, the kids, the video, everything. But it is what it is. It reinforced the need for this #faithbites. I was reading a post from a […]
3:103 – Empty is Good #faithbites #faithjourney #holyweek #easter #emptytomb empty Happy Easter, Everybody. He is Risen. He is Risen, Indeed. Alleluia In our life, empty is usually a bad thing. The gas tank is empty. The fridge is empty. My bank account is empty. The toliet paper roll is empty. (Sorry, a little COVID-19 joke). We don’t like empty, […]
3:101 – Why Is It Called “Good” Friday? #faithbites #faithjourney #holyweek good Some things in the English language are hard to understand. One that struck me was that we should fear god. It wasn’t until just recently that I found out that this fear was adoration, not being scared. It completely changes the meaning of the phrase. Likewise, I never […]
