4:7 – Security Shaken But Not Gone! #faithbites #faithjourney security Setting (Trigger Warning) Yesterday (and to some extent today) was hard. I watched on TV as armed rioters (I won’t get into if we called them rioters or terrorists or whatever) pushed passed security, broke into the capital, fired shots, and held our congress at bay for hours. This isn’t […]
3:365 – Go, Therefore: Sharing Your Faith #faithbites #faithjourney therefore Setting Twas, the day before the day before the New Year. For most, this is a reflective time. A time to look back at the year and look forward to next year. For me, I look at what role faith and God have played in my life. I have had […]
3:362 – On The Ground? Accept The Hand #faithbites #faithjourney ground Setting It’s a cool morning in Bloomington, Illinois and my youngest wanted to ride her scooter while I took our dog for a walk. All was going well, the dog was chasing the youngest, and next thing I knew, I was on the ground and in pain. I had […]
3:339 – Failure Isn’t the End of the Road #faithbites #faithjourney failure Setting 44 hours. That is how long I had a 3D print going. This was supposed to be a present for a family member and it looked great for over 40 hours, then at the end, a major unfixable (without a table saw, epoxy, patience, and time) error. […]
3:337 – Nothing Left To Give #faithbites #faithjourney nothing Setting Today was a bad day. Trivial in the grand scheme of the universe but bad for me and my reactions are bad. I almost didn’t share a #faithbite, but I know someone out there may need this. Even when I have nothing left to give, God always has more to […]
3:336 – I’ve Failed You Many Times But…. #faithbites #faithjourney failed Setting Last night we were watching an episode of 9-1-1. It’s a great show. In this episode one firefight left his special needs child with another firefighter to take care of for the day. We’ll, there was a tsunami, and while the friend saved the kid the first time […]
3:324 – Things Unseen #faithbites #faithjourney unseen Setting Most people would look at me and say I look fine. Today, I did what I needed to, said hi to people, and tried to do what I can. What remained unseen is the excoriating pain I am in from my back. If you looked at my nieces, you would see that […]
3:318 – The Unsent Letter #faithbites #faithjourney unsent Setting Many years ago, I had a supervisor who, in my opinion, wasn’t very supportive. He told me that I would never have the job I wanted because I wasn’t faculty. He saw who I was and not the promise of who I could become. Since then, I have moved into faculty […]
3:314 – Flip The Script #faithbites #faithjourney script Setting It was 4:30 A.M. my daughter rhad crawled into bed crying for the second time that tonight. My dog was now up and wanting to play, go outside, and eat breakfast. All I wanted to do was sleep. I thought, “Great and now I have a dog awake on top of […]
3:313 – Choose To Work Together #faithbites #faithjourney choose Setting If you know me, you know I’m an extrovert. I like people, I want to help people, and I want to see what we can do together. We are stronger together than apart. Last night, the presumed President-Elect, stated something to the effect of if we can choose to be […]
