2:19 – That Didn’t Work. Let’s Order Pizza #faithbites #faithjourney pizza I like to cook. My family loves when I cook and try new things. I’m always a little nervous as I don’t want to waste the money on the ingredients or make something that people don’t like. Tonight, I tried a new skillet cheese bread loaf and garlic brown […]
2:14 – My Day Sucks More Than Yours #faithbites #faithjourney sucks Today was not a good day. The kids were grumping, my knee was hurting, I had to shovel more snow, the campus was icy, the elevators in my building weren’t working, my network on my computer wasn’t working, people were grumpy to me. It was a pretty sucky day. […]
2:5 – Challenge Complete. Next! #faithbites #faithjourney Challenge Today marks a big day for me. In November of 2017, a friend of mine who shared scripture every day said he was leaving Facebook. I told him I was sad to see him go and miss his daily scriptures. He said maybe it was time for someone else to do it. […]
2:3 – Be a Becky #faithbites #faithjourney Becky Today a church friend of mine passed away. It was unexpected and I hope that everyone keeps her and her family in their prayers. To quote one of our Pastors “I’m grateful death doesn’t have the final word!”. I couldn’t agree more. But today’s faithbite isn’t about death, it’s about life. We […]

Today, we continue with looking at finishing what you start. For you Disney fans, you may remember the dog in Up. He was easily distracted by SQUIRREL. I am that dog. I find things that are […]
358 – Hark the Grandpa Harold Sing or What is Impact? #faithbites #faithjourney harold Tonight during our Christmas Eve service, I was helping the young ones get ready for the live nativity scene. Right before we went on, the congregation, sang a few Christmas carols with one being Hark the Herald Angel Sings. That song was always one of my […]
356 – Memorization or Internalization #faithbites #faithjourney internalization One of the weekly assignments my eldest has is to memorize scripture. She studies it, recites it, and gets a sticker for it. I’ve asked her if she remembers it a week or two later and she doesn’t. She may have the concept on some but not the word. No internalization of […]
355 – The Longest Night or A New Season? #faithbites #faithjourney season December 21 is the first day of Winter. A new season of cold, snow, Christmas, New Year, and a time to reflect on what is came and what is next. For me though, I also look at it as the longest night of the year. I’ve always been […]
354 – Trust But Verify (Part II) #faithbites #faithjourney Verify You might remember that back in September I wrote a #faithbite entitled Trust But Verify. That message was about not bearing false witness and listening to find the truth when someone is accused of something. Today, I use the same title but for a different type of verification. Understanding what […]
352 – Letting Go of Mistakes #faithbites #faithjourney mistakes Working in a college is invigorating for me. I love to see how students develop, grow, and where they go in life.
