2:76 – Snarky Parents, Snarky Jesus #faithbites #faithjourney snarky I don’t know about you, but I like to make my own choices. I like to try new things and go out and get them done. Sometimes, ok more than I would like to admit, those things may end badly for me or just not turn out the way I thought […]
2:61 – Hypocrisy Is Real #faithbites #faithjourney hypocrisy I’m far from perfect. I’ve said thing I regret and made generalizations that are just plain wrong. When I scroll through social media and see good Christian people sharing memes and photos that are the exact opposite of “What Would Jesus Do?”. This is hypocrisy even if it’s not meant. This is […]
2:10 – Did You Show Up Late To The Party? #faithbites #faithjourney party I remember several years ago when a new song would come on the radio. I would call my brother in Los Angeles and tell him about this new song. He would say, that’s song has been out for months, it’s old. I was late to the party. […]
361 – I resolve to…finish #faithbites #faithjourney finish Yesterday, we started the resolve series here at #faithbites with a resolution to work on anger. 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 […]
343 – Don’t Follow Me. I’m a Hypocrite #faithbites #faithjourney hypocrite I often say that I am wrong. Heck, most times I feel more wrong that right, but I digress. I use to think the saying “Do as I say, not as I do” was hypocritical. Now, I know it is. But the thing is, we are hypocrites. We do […]
333 – God is Pretty Incredible #faithbites #faithjourney incredible Some days the ideas for #faithbites just come to me while other days it’s a bit harder. Today’s #faithbite comes from my eldest. She suggested that I write about the Incredibles and how incredible God is. I said why not. While God doesn’t wear a supersuit, his is pretty awesom. And […]
331 – Are You A Misfit? #faithbites #faithjourney misfit Tonight, as part of our annual tradition, my family sat down to watch Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Every time before we watch it, I think of it with nostalgia, then as I watch it I remember how bad it is. Between Santa being a jerk, Donner rejecting his son, and on […]
324 – Vaccinated by Christ #faithbites #faithjourney Vaccinated Before we get started, I’m going to ask for a little leeway here. I’m going to use an imperfect metaphor, but I think it works. So bear with me 🙂 And now, onto faithbites. Yesterday my youngest got her flu vaccine. Today, I had my oldest vaccinated against the flu. They were […]
319 –Â Responsibility for Your Actions – Good and Bad #faithbites #faithjourney responsibility About two to three inches of pearly white snow covered central Illinois this morning. It is beautiful unless you have to travel, shovel, or go anywhere. A perfect day to stay home, sit by the fire, drink hot chocolate, and rest. But alas, this was not in the […]
